Biochemischen

Biochemischen is the inflected form of the German adjective biochemisch, meaning biochemical. It is used to describe things related to biochemistry, such as processes, substances, or methods in German. Because German adjectives change form according to gender, case, and number, biochemischen appears in certain grammatical contexts, for example with plural nouns in the accusative or dative (biochemischen Prozessen, biochemischen Reaktionen, biochemischen Nachweisen) as well as in other inflected forms.

Biochemistry is the science that studies the chemical processes and substances that occur in living organisms. It covers the structure and function of macromolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates, and how these components interact in metabolic pathways. Biochemical research seeks to understand how cells convert nutrients into energy and building blocks, how signals are transmitted, and how genetic information influences molecular function.

In scientific writing in German, the adjective biochemisch and its inflections, including biochemischen, are commonly used in phrases describing results, methods, or materials. Examples include biochemische Reaktionen, biochemische Analytik, or biochemischen Nachweisen. The term appears across textbooks, research articles, and course titles, such as Biochemische Grundlagen or Biochemische Methoden, reflecting its role in describing the biochemical nature of phenomena.

The concept of biochemistry emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as chemistry and biology integrated to explain life at the molecular level. Biochemischen forms help convey the precise grammatical relationship in German-language discourse about these topics.
