Biomolecular Kinetics

Biomolecular Kinetics, 4th Edition by Shijie Liu is an academic textbook designed to connect core biochemistry with practical bioprocess applications. Intended primarily for undergraduate and graduate students across bioengineering, chemical engineering, bioprocess engineering, and biological engineering, this volume offers a structured approach to understanding cellular reaction mechanisms.

The core instructional content opens with fundamental cellular concepts before examining primary biomolecular structures in detail. Students encounter dedicated sections on biological basics, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, amino acids, proteins, lipids, and various cellular metabolites.

Building on this molecular foundation, the author details the governing principles of chemical reactions and chemical kinetics theory. The text provides guidance on reaction rate data analysis, supporting student learning in quantitative reaction dynamics for coursework and academic study in biological engineering disciplines.
