background and purpose: biochemistry is extremely difficult in preclinical medical education because of the monotonous use of lectures, tutorials, practical and end of semester load with end of semester examination. although several studies have been carried out on learning biochemistry in europe and america, asian studies are very few and literature in the sri lankan context is lacking. we aim...

dear editor regarding to development of basic science and new methods in biochemistry in recent years, practical biochemistry contents should be optimized (1). therefore, re-attitude biochemistry course contents in medical schools has paralleled worldwide trends a moved from current status is needed (2, 3). as reported by investi­gators many medical schools around the world have reformed their ...

in protein biochemistry, biochemists specially study proteins as complex polymers. protein biochemistry is the study of the chemical structure of proteins, including individual amino acids, their linkage as well as physical structure of proteins. proteins, especially globular proteins, are three dimensional in nature. proper function of globular proteins is tightly related to their three-dimens...

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...

introduction and goal: today, the researchers have found that many recent diseases are due to cellular oxidative stress which is caused by the imbalance of the formation and neutralization of free radicals. including weak immune system, cancers, inflectional diseases, aging body and diabetes. diabetes is the most common endocrine disease in the world that is referred to as the mother of the dis...

goldfish carassius auratus were subjected to either formalin (250 ppm) or nacl (10 ppt), over a 0.5-h period followed by 24-h freshwater exposure. serum biochemistry was monitored before exposure (0), immediately after (0.5) plus 3 and 24 h after exposure. results showed that both formalin and nacl treatments caused rapid increase in cortisol with a peak at 3 h, which did not recover until 24 h...
