Medical biochemistry is a branch of biochemistry that focuses on the chemical processes and molecular mechanisms that occur in the human body in relation to health and disease. It integrates principles of chemistry and biology to explain the structure and function of biomolecules such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids, as well as their roles in metabolism, enzymatic activity, and genetic regulation. The course covers essential topics such as bioenergetics, metabolic pathways, enzyme kinetics, signal transduction, and molecular genetics, providing a foundation for understanding physiological processes at the molecular level. It also explores the biochemical basis of diseases, including metabolic disorders, genetic mutations, and deficiencies, and how these conditions can be diagnosed and treated through biochemical approaches. Clinical correlations are emphasized to help students connect biochemical concepts with medical applications, including laboratory diagnostics, drug mechanisms, and therapeutic interventions. The course typically includes both theoretical and practical components, with laboratory sessions focusing on biochemical techniques such as spectrophotometry, chromatography, electrophoresis, and molecular biology methods. Understanding medical biochemistry is crucial for medical, pharmacy, and health sciences students, as it provides insights into the molecular underpinnings of disease and informs clinical decision-making, diagnostics, and treatment strategies.
