With this Ninth edition, the Textbook of Biochemistry for Medical Students is entering in the 24th year of existence. The Medical Council of India has accepted it as one of the standard textbooks. This book has also reached the hands of medical students of neighbouring countries of Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, etc; and distant countries in Africa and Europe. The textbook has a Spanish edition, with wide circulation in Central and South America. Slovak edition has also been published. Apart from the medical community, this book has also become popular among other biology group of students in India. The Medical Council of India has recently revised the MBBS curriculum, and this new edition incorporates all the relevant points and strictly adheres to the new curriculum.
