The second edition of the Macromolecular Chemistry broadens into two areas: biomacromolecules, Volume 1 and polymers, Volume 2. Biomacromolecules covers carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, their classifications and properties. The first chapter looks at the structural formulas and cyclic forms of monosaccharides, as well as their synthesis and breakdown. Cyclization, enolization, isomerization, tautomerization, mutarotation, and epimerization are all briefly described. Examples of disaccharides and polysaccharides are also presented. The second chapter covers triglycerides, steroids, vitamins, and their constituents. The third chapter examines the primary structure of proteins, including amino acid properties, peptide bond formation, and peptide synthesis. It also addresses secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures. The book concludes with a chapter on nucleic acids, which covers the chemistry of nucleosides and oligonucleotides as well as topics such as genetic code, DNA secret code, Polymerase Chain Reaction and DNA fingerprinting.

Dr. Mohamed Elzagheid is an Associate Professor of Organic Chemistry and was previously the Deputy of Education and Training Affairs at Jubail Industrial College.
Prior to his current job at JIC, Dr. Elzagheid worked as the R & D Director at LPS Inc. in Canada. Dr. Elzagheid also has experience working as a post-doctoral fellow, visiting scientist, and research associate at McGill University in Canada, the lab director at SynPrep Inc. in Canada, and a senior research chemist at Perkin Elmer in Finland.
Dr. Elzagheid's work at Turku University in Finland, McGill University in Canada, and JIC in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has enabled him to solidify his reputation in the organic chemistry field, and nucleoside and oligonucleotide chemistry in particular; such is evident in Dr. Elzagheid's research papers and publications (50+ peer-reviewed articles and 5 textbooks).
