Utilization of Enzymes in Biochemistry and Analytical Biochemistry

Editor Note – Biochemistry & Analytical Biochemistry

Biochemistry is the study of structures, functions and interactions of biomolecules, such as carbohydrates, nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, etc. and their metabolisms. Advancements in biochemistry helps in the advancement of different fields like agriculture, medicine, nutrition, etc., which are directly related to it. Combination of biochemical techniques with techniques and ideas of genetics...

The analytical biochemistry of chromium.

The essentiality and carcinogenicity of chromium depend on its chemical form. Oxidation state and solubility are particularly important in determining the biological effects of chromium compounds. For this reason, total chromium measurements are of little value in assessing its nutritional benefits or its toxicological hazards. Aqueous sodium carbonate-sodium hydroxide solutions have been succe...

Reflections on my career in analytical chemistry and biochemistry

My career has been focused in two major areas, analytical chemistry and biochemistry of complex lipids and glycoconjugates. Included here are the pioneering work on the gas chromatography of long-chain sphingolipid bases, carbohydrates, steroids and urinary organic acids. Mass spectrometry was utilized extensively in structural studies of sphingolipids, fatty acids, carbohydrates, steroids, uri...

A clinical view of analytical goals in clinical biochemistry.

The analytical goals inferred desirable by a group of clinicians for the imprecisions of a wide range of analytes have been studied by survey. The goals required have not in general become more stringent in the past decade and are not as demanding as those promulgated by laboratory professionals. Clinical biochemistry laboratories can now attain analytical imprecisions which satisfy the general...
