INTRODUCTION TO BIOCHEMISTRY Biochemistry is the branch of science that deals with the study of chemical processes that are going on in the living body. It forms a bridge between biology and chemistry by studying how complex chemical reactions and chemical structures give rise to life and life’s processes. Biochemistry incorporates everything in between a molecule and a cell and all the interactions between them. Biochemistry essentially remains the study ...
