The study of the chemical processes within and related to living organisms is called biochemistry. This field combines principles from biology and chemistry to understand the molecular mechanisms that underpin various biological functions. Biochemistry explores the structure, function, and interactions of biomolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids. By examining these interactions, researchers can gain insights into metabolic pathways, enzyme functions, and the biochemical basis of diseases, paving the way for advancements in medicine, genetics, and biotechnology.
