What is Biochemistry?

Biochemistry is the branch of science that explores the chemical processes within and related to living organisms. It combines principles from both biology and chemistry to understand how molecular components like proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids contribute to the function and regulation of cells, tissues, and organs. Biochemistry is fundamental to understanding the complexities of life and is applied in various fields including medicine, genetics, and biotechnology.
