Biochemistry is one of the most exciting fields in biology today. The rapid development of techniques for the identification and tracing of minute quantities of organic chemicals has made it possible to unravel many complex biological processes. This small book has been written in the belief that is is essential for each of us to understand how our bodies function, so that we may protect ourselves from harmful influences. It is also important for us to have the background to realize the implications of biological research, so that we may apply its results to greatest advantage.
