"Biochemistry" (textbook)

Biochemistry is the branch of science that explores the chemical processes within and related to living organisms. It combines principles of biology and chemistry to understand how molecules like proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids function, interact, and contribute to life's processes. By studying these molecules, biochemistry reveals how cells grow, reproduce, and respond to their environment, providing insights into health, disease, and the development of medicines. Essentially, biochemistry uncovers the molecular foundation of life, bridging the gap between biology and chemistry to explain how complex biological systems operate at the chemical level.
