Biochemistry is a field of science that merges principles and techniques from both biology and chemistry. It centers 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 cellular environments. Biochemists create and alter molecules to decipher their roles and engineer new molecular properties.
