Take a close look at the living
organisms. Actually, they are the collection of thousands of different lifeless
biomolecules. Biochemistry asks how the amazing properties of living organisms
arise from these different lifeless biomolecules. When these
molecules are isolated and examined individually, they follow all the
physical and chemical laws that describe the behavior of lifeless matter.
Notably all the processes occurring in living organisms follow these laws.
The study of biochemistry give you an idea about how the
collections of inanimate molecules that constitute living
organisms interact to maintain and continue life animated solely by these
laws (physical and chemical laws) that govern the nonliving universe.
Biochemistry explains in molecular
terms the structures, mechanisms, and chemical processes shared by all
organisms. It also provides organizing principles that underlie life in
all its diverse forms. These principles are collectively called as the
molecular logic of life. Although
biochemistry provides important insights and practical applications in
medicine, agriculture, nutrition, and industry, its ultimate goal is to
deal with the wonder of life itself.
