THE BIOCHEMISTRY IS THE CHEMISTRY OF THE

LIFE

Major Objective

Complete understanding, at the molecular

level, of all of the chemical processes

associated with living cells.

Biochemists have sought to isolate the numerous molecules found in

cells.

Analyze how they function

Determine their

structures

TO ACHIEVE

BIOCHEMISTRY: “Science to study the chemistry base of the life.”

The cell is the structural unit of the living systems

Funcional definition:

“Science that is occupied of the chemical elements of

the life cells and the reactions and processes that they

have” The biochemistry

has extensive

areas of the cellular biology

Molecular biology

Molecular genetics

BIOCHEMISTRY’S OBJECTIVES

To study and understanding the structures and properties

of

substances constituting the framework of cells and

tissues.

To study the structures and properties of substances which

enter

the cell as sources of energy or leave the cell as waste

products

To study the catalytic activity of enzymes.

To study processes that convert diet into compounds which are

characteristics of the cells of a given species.

To study the manifold energy-requiring process of theliving cell.

To study the chemistry of inheritance.

THE KNOWLEDGE OF BIOCHEMISTRY IS ESSENTIAL FOR ALL THE SCIENCES

OF LIFE

BIOCHEMISTRY

GENETICS

PHYSIOLOGY

PHARMACOLOGYAND PHARMACY

The biochemist of nucleic

acids occupies a fundamental

tight place in genetics’ heart

Genetics

Is the science of the

function of living systems.

This includes how

organisms, organ systems,

organs, cells, and bio-

molecules carry out the

chemical or physical

functions that exist in a

living system

Physiology

Is a branch of biomedical

science that covers the study of

all aspects of the immune

system in all organisms. It deals

with the physiological

functioning of the immune

system in states of both health

and diseases.

Immunology

Pharmacology is based on a solid

knowledge of biochemistry and the

physiology; in particular, almost all

medicaments are metabolized by

our organism with reactions that are

catalyzed for enzymes

Pharmacology

A RECIPROCAL RELATIONSHIP

BETWEEN BIOCHEMISTRY MEDICINE HAS STIMULATED

MUTUAL ADVANCES

Understanding and maintenance

of health

The understanding and effective

treatment of diseases

The two major concerns for

workers in the health sciences

Some examples of this two-way street are shown in Figure

Biochemical studies have illuminated many aspects of health

and disease

The study of various aspects of health and disease has opened up new areas of

biochemistry.

And conversely

Examples of the two-way street connecting biochemistry and medicine.

Knowledge of the biochemical molecules shown in the top part of the

diagram has clarified our understanding of the diseases shown on the

bottom half—and conversely, analyses of the diseases shown below have

cast light on many areas of biochemistry. Note that sickle cell anemia is a

genetic disease and that both atherosclerosis and diabetes mellitus have

genetic components.

The science of biology applied to the area of medicine is known as biomedical science. Developments in the technology

of biomedical science is always considered a major benefit to society.

Being able to monitor one’s health and treat various types of medical

conditions is attributed to the development of biomedical science

Even now, continuous studies, research and experiments are being done in

order to improve the current technology in the field of biomedical science.

Definitely, any development in

this field of science,

regardless of how small or big

it may be, is already a great

achievement for society

NUTRITIONAL BIOCHEMISTRY

Carbohydrates

PROTEIN

Fatty acids

VITAMINS

Minerals

NUTRITIONAL BIOCHEMISTRY

The carbohydrates are molecules

That

Providing energy essential for

normal body functioning

This are: RICE, POTATOES,

BREAD, VEGETABLES, PASTA,

CAKE, etc.

Carbohydrates

These molecules are important components of

histological structures and  the human cell.

Example: fish, eggs, cheese, lamb, chicken,

etc.

Proteins

Example: butter, olive oil, milk, fish oil, etc.

The fatty acids provide

protection to the human

body and serve like energy

stores

Fatty acids

Example: MILK, APPLE,

BANANA, SHELLFISH,

ONIONS, ETC.

Minerals are essential to

the nutrition of the cells,

the formation of the

skeletal system and the

digestion and assimilation

of food

Minerals

This are in the fruits,

salad, vegetables, etc.

The vitamins are

nutrients that provide

immunity to the human

body with a lot of

diseases

Vitamins

BIOCHEMICAL STUDIES
