Importance of biochemistry
WHAT IS BIOCHEMISTRY?STUDY OF THE STRUCTURE,
COMPOSITION, AND CHEMICAL REACTIONS OF SUBSTANCES IN LIVING
SYSTEMS

ORIGIN
ENZIMES, CARBOHIDRATES, PROTEINS, DNA, RNA, etc
IT TRIES TO EXPLAIN LIFE IN TERMS OF BIO CHEMICAL REACTIONS
INCLUDES OTHERS SCIENCES AS ANATOMY, MEDICINE, AGRICULTURE, PHARMACY, etc
IMPORTANCE OF BIOCHEMISTRY IN MEDICINE
The European Federation for Medicinal Chemistry says
the biochemistry is a guide to drug discovery and for its application
for example the morphine is a drug that reduce the pain in terminal cáncer
the biochemistry helps us understand the biochemical changes and related physiological alteration in the body
The pathology of any disease is studied through biochemical changes
in the present scenario many people rely in taking multivitamin and minerals for better health
the function and role of the vitamins is described only by biochemistry
there are many disorders due to hormonal imbalance in specially women and children
the formation of hormones in the normal body function is taught in biochemistry by which the physician can understand the concerned problem during treatment
Importance of biochemistry in Nursing
Biochemistry is of great use within the field of nursing, with many
practical applications that can assist you in becoming
a better nurse..
Using biochemistry can be helpful in the nursing
profession, allowing nurses to determine how much medicine
should be prescribed or given to each patient they encounter
Knowing the chemical reactions
of drugs to the human body and mixing said drugs
IMPORTANCE OF BIOCHEMISTRY IN AGRICULTURE
The influence exercised by
the environment is
reflected both in
morphological structure,
and chemical structure of
organisms. Organic
matter is formed,
transformed and is
degraded in any living
organism (plant, animal or
microorganism).
Biochemical processes play
an important role in many
branches of food industry
and especially in the process
of processing raw materials,
plant or animal kind.
Another example are the
enzymes involved in various
processes which help to
improve crops
IMPORTANCE OF BIOCHEMISTRY IN NUTRITION
WATER IS NECESSARY
For a maintenance of health
Optimum intake of many chemicals
like vitamins, minerals, essential
fatty acids
can also
The nutrients value of food material
Be determined by biochemical tests
IMPORTANCE OF BIOCHEMISTRY IN PHARMACY
DRUGS
Gives an idea of its constitution
Its change of degradation with varying
temperature
how drugs are metabolized by
biochemical reactions in presence of enzymes
