Biochemistry is a branch of the biomedical sciences that deals with the chemistry of life processes.
Our course will emphasize those aspects that are particularly relevant to the biochemistry of human
beings. Conceptually, biochemistry can be subdivided into four major areas of study: the chemical
nature and structure of the various components of living matter (biological structure), the
interactions among these components (metabolism); the storage, expression, and transmission
of genetic information (molecular biology); and regulation of the reactions which
occur in metabolism and molecular biology. Over the past several years, basic research in biochemistry
has revolutionized biomedical science and led to the development of unprecedented advances in
diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in clinical medicine. We will examine the biochemical basis
of many of these advances in our course.
