The questions and answers approach adopted in this book should enable students
discern core information from that which is peripheral. The book is designed to give
students rapid, easy access to the core factual material in a format which facilitates
learning and rapid revision. It is hoped that this book will serve as the final
preparatory step for the examination in biochemistry. This book should not be used
as a replacement for standard biochemistry text book, nor should it prevent the
student from attending routine lectures (seminars) or thoroughly revising the various
biochemistry topics completed during the semester or trimester. The best way to use
this book is for the student to first answer each question before proceeding to the
answer section to read the prepared answer.
The answers provided in this book were obtained from very reliable sources; they
were checked and found to be correct and acceptable at the time of publication.
However, the possibility of inadvertent errors cannot be totally ruled out; therefore,
students are requested to double check the facts presented with other standard texts
in biochemistry. A list of references and materials for further reading has been
included in the reference section of this book. Constructive comments and
recommendations for improvement in the next edition of this book are most welcome
by the author.
