biocihímica

Bioquímica is the scientific discipline that explores the chemical processes within and related to living organisms. It bridges biology and chemistry, investigating the structure, function, and interactions of biomolecules such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. Biochemists seek to understand the molecular basis of life, from the replication of DNA to the complex metabolic pathways that sustain cells.

Key areas of study in biochemistry include understanding how cells generate energy through processes like cellular respiration and photosynthesis, how genetic information is stored and transmitted, and how enzymes catalyze biochemical reactions. It also delves into the molecular mechanisms of disease, the development of new drugs, and advancements in biotechnology. The field relies on a range of analytical techniques to isolate, identify, and quantify biomolecules. Ultimately, biochemistry provides a fundamental understanding of the chemical underpinnings of all biological phenomena.
