1. Biochemistry and Its Medical Scope

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Biochemistry : the science of molecules in living organisms, individual chemical reactions and their enzyme catalysts, and the expression and regulation of metabolic processes

★ Must-know

📌 Biochemistry and medicine have a mutually cooperative relationship: biochemical studies illuminate health and disease, while studying health and disease opens new areas of biochemistry.

  • Biochemistry contributes to:
    • cell biology
    • physiology
    • immunology
    • microbiology
    • pharmacology
    • toxicology
    • epidemiology
    • inflammation
    • cell injury
