Biochemistry is a course that studies the chemical processes and substances that occur within living organisms. It combines principles from biology and chemistry to explore the structure and function of biomolecules like proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. Key areas include enzymology, metabolism, molecular biology, genetics, and cell biology. Students learn laboratory techniques and how biochemical processes influence health, disease, and life itself. The course prepares graduates for careers in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical research, food science, and forensic science, or for further studies in medicine or related fields.
