ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The successful publication of this site is not unaided. I would like to express my profound gratitude to God for lavishing his mercies, love and care on me throughout and after the period of developing this site. To him be all glory and praises forever.

I also will express my appreciation to my parents and siblings for their understanding and support throughout the period of publishing this site.

I must not fail to express my sincere appreciation to Dr E.J Chukeze who instilled in me the discipline of scientific investigations, during my six months industrial training in his establishment. He is a great and exemplary Nigerian bioscientist of our time; a proteomics, enzymologist and bioinformatics. He is a senior lecturer in Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka. Nigeria. He introduced and taught me most of what I know about Bioinformatics, protein and enzyme. He groomed me into a biochemist that I am today; sir the world is waiting eagerly to learn from you.

I wish to express my profound gratitude to Dr Stanley Udedi, my supervisor during my undergraduate days and a mentor now. He is a great Nigerian biochemist and an environmental scientist. He contributed immensely to the overall success of this site.

I also express my gratitude to my other lecturers in Applied Biochemistry department of Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka, Especially Mr. Kingsley Orji, Mr. Victor Enemuo, Dr Nebedum, Mr. Igwilo , Dr. Chike, Dr Ogbunugafor, Dr Igbokwe, Prof Emeka Ezeonu . You‘ve all in one way or the other impacted the discipline of biochemistry into me.

My special regards to Ononamadu Chimaobi, A great Nigerian biochemist, intending to pursue a second degree in medicine. He was both a friend and a brother; He provided some of the physical resources employed in the publication of this site. I can’t stop being grateful to you. You are a friend indeed.

My regards to Amaka and Nneka, two upcoming female Nigerian Bioscientist. They are Undergraduates of Applied Biochemistry Department, currently in their final year of study in Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka. Their interests in biochemical investigations are commendable. They are intelligent and worthy research partners.

I won’t forget to mention Obinna A Enweka A great ICT professional and Bioscientist, having intentions of furthering in a professional ICT course. My being with him exposed me to the computer world; indeed your computer expertise is outstanding.

My fellow 2008 session, graduates of applied biochemistry department Awka Nigeria. You are all acknowledged.The list of friends and colleagues that I owe appreciations are endless, but I won’t fail to mention Obinna O Madu, Ifeoma A Okonkwo, Livinus Asogwa, Cletus N Chukwu, Nwizu Vivian, Kevin Odili and Nkem U Chiadofu (Now late!). You are all good

I finally acknowledge the efforts of Nigerian bioscientist in different parts of the world, striving in the midst of financial difficulty, all to make their contributions to the Bioscientific community, some I have been opportune to work with, others I have only heard their names or read about them and those that are yet to be recognized, your struggles is an encouragement to embark on this works.

I hope that this site would really be of immense assistance to the Nigerian Bioscientific community.

Thanks
