Features: This book consists of 21 chapters. Chapters 1 to 6 introduce the structure and function of proteins, as well as basic techniques for protein separation, purification, and identification. Chapters 7 to 11 cover biocatalysts, including enzyme catalytic mechanisms, enzyme kinetics, enzyme activity regulation, ribozymes, and antibody enzymes. Chapters 12 to 17 discuss the structure, function, and regulation of genetic molecules, including the structure of nucleic acids, DNA replication, gene transcription, protein biosynthesis, gene expression regulation, and the principles of genetic engineering and its applications in animal science. Chapters 18 to 21 explore the biochemical morphology of animal cells, biomembranes and substance transport, cellular signal transduction mechanisms, and the interrelationships and regulation of material metabolism in animal organisms. The book emphasizes the fundamental theories and knowledge of modern biochemistry and molecular biology, provides detailed introductions to new developments and achievements in the field, and highlights the characteristics of animal science. This book can serve as a graduate textbook for students in animal husbandry, veterinary medicine, aquaculture, animal nutrition, and food science, as well as a reference for researchers and teachers. It also holds value for other teaching and research personnel engaged in biological science and technology.
