Biochemistry

Biochemistry is the science which is concerned perceptively with the chemical composition of Organisms (Living Cells), and the respective chemical reactions and phenomena they usually undergo, specifically at the Molecular Level. Obviously, the array of dietary and tissue constituents having great significance/ value do include Macromolecules viz., Lipids, Proteins, Nucleic Acids (DNA/RNA), and Carbohydrates. Amazingly, these are critically and specifically present in the circulating blood and different tissues both in divergent forms and carry out various bodily functions.

Biochemistry has advanced progressively with the development from mid-20th century based on a host of Analytical Techniques, such as: X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Chromatography, Radiosotope Labelling, and Electron Micoscopy. In fact, these aforesaid techniques paved the way to separate, isolate, and analyse Biologically Important Molecules, intricate sequential steps of the metabolic pathways, such as: Glycolysis, Citric Acid Cycle etc. It has enormously provided an avalanche of knowledge of how the various microorganisms play their pivotal roles in the human body.
