Physical Biochemistry

Physical biochemistry is the study of the physical principles that govern biological molecules and processes. It combines concepts from chemistry, physics, and biology to explore how biomolecules like proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids interact, change shape, and function in living organisms. By understanding these interactions at a molecular level, scientists can uncover how biological systems work, how energy is transferred in cells, and how processes like enzyme reactions occur. This field helps bridge fundamental science with real-world applications, such as drug development and biotechnology.
