Biochemsitry

Biochemistry is the discipline that uses the language of chemistry to explain biology. It is the study of life on molecular level. Biochemistry also describes the chemistry of living cell.

Areas of study:

Conformational: structure and 3D arrangements of biomolecules (protein structure)
Metabolism: biochemical pathways (Kreb cycle) and energy production and utilization (glycolysis)
Informational: language for communication inside and between cells (signal transduction)
