IMPORTANCE OF BIOCHEMISTRY IN MOLECULAR BIOLOGY

It is important to understand biochemistry in order to understand drugs function

EXAMPLE

Chemical’s reactions that occur in the G1 phase of cell cycle

BIOCHEMISTRY

BIOLOGY

many diseases, such as cancer, can be described in terms of biochemical changes in the cell

that lead to changes in gene expression and cell physiology

if you can determine the biochemical changes that led to some disease state

design drugs to targe those changes

reverse the disease state and restore health
