Biochemistry is a field of science that merges principles from both biology and chemistry. It concentrates on studying molecules involved in biological systems, ranging from small metabolic compounds to large macromolecules like proteins, DNA, and RNA. This discipline examines molecular structures and functions, whether isolated or within cells. Biochemists create and alter molecules to explore their roles and engineer new molecular properties.
Learning Objectives
Apply combined chemical and biological knowledge to analyze the structure and function of biologically significant molecules.
