Biochemistry is a study of the molecules of life.
Human welfare, particularly its medical and nutritional aspects, has been vastly improved by our rapidly growing understanding of Biochemistry. The numerous achievements in Biochemistry for which the Nobel prize had been awarded show the impact of Biochemistry on medicine, science and the quality of life in general. The availability of recombinant DNA technology has made it possible to clone the genes for health and disease, thus escalating the rate information is generated by molecular biology. Biochemistry studies often use an integrative approach, and it has become the core basic language in biological and medical sciences. Besides its applications in medical diagnostics and treatment, modern Biochemistry has found its way into the biotechnology industry, where recombinant DNA techniques are applied for production of therapeutic substances.
