This document discusses the importance of biochemistry in various fields including medicine, nursing, food industry, nutrition, and pharmacy. It explains that biochemistry guides drug discovery and application by describing how drugs react in the human body. It also discusses how biochemistry helps understand disease pathology and hormonal imbalances through biochemical changes. Biochemistry is important for determining nutrient values of foods and understanding how water, vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids are necessary for health maintenance.
An enzyme is a substance that acts as a catalyst in living organisms, regulating the rate at which chemical reactions proceed without itself being altered in the process. The biological processes that occur within all living organisms are chemical reactions, and most are regulated by enzymes

The scope of biochemistry is as wide as life itself. Wherever there is life, chemical processes are occurring. Biochemists study the chemical processes that occur in microorganisms, plants, insects, fish, birds, mammals and human beings. Biochemistry is the language of biology.

The cell and its evolution:
*Stanford researchers produce 12 cell types from human stem cells in days.
*Study uncovers new drug-gene mutation combinations that can kill cancer cells
This field combines biology as well as chemistry to study the chemical structure of a living organism
Biochemistry is a basic science which deals with chemical nature and chemical behaviour of living matter and with the reactions and processes they undergo.
“The branch of science dealing with the study of all the life processes such as control and coordination within a living organism is called Biochemistry”
At its most basic, biochemistry is the study of the chemical processes occurring in living matter. However, this simple definition encompasses an incredibly diverse field of research that touches nearly all aspects of our lives.
Biological diversity, or biodiversity, is the scientific term for the variety and variability of life on Earth. Biodiversity is the key indicator of the health of an ecosystem. Every living thing, including man, is involved in these complex networks of interdependent relationships, which are called ecosystems.
Like all healthy ecosystems, Richness of microbiota species characterizes the GI microbiome in healthy individuals. Conversely, a loss in species diversity is a common finding in several disease states. Microbiota Biodiversity helps us : 1- Combat aggressions from other microorganisms, 2- Maintaining the wholeness of the intestinal mucosa. 3- Plays an important role in the immune system, 4- Performing a barrier effect.5- A healthy and balanced gut microbiota is key to ensuring proper digestive functioning. A gut out of balance means a body out of balance which means illness including Inflammation, Allergies, Infections, Nutrient deficiencies, Weight Gain, Asthma-allergies – Autoimmunity
• Arthritis, Metabolic Bone disease, Skin problems e.g. eczema, rosacia, Mood disorders - Cognitive decline-Alzheimers and Cancer.

The study of how genes and gene products interact with dietary chemicals to alter phenotype and, conversely, how genes and their products metabolize nutrients is called nutritional genomics or “Nutrigenomics”.
Metabolomics is the large-scale study of small molecules, commonly known as metabolites, within cells, biofluids, tissues or organisms. Collectively, these small molecules and their interactions within a biological system are known as the metabolome.
Metabolomics is an analytical profiling technique for measuring and comparing large numbers of metabolites present in biological samples. Combining high-throughput analytical chemistry and multivariate data analysis, metabolomics offers a window on metabolic mechanisms.

6. The European Federation for
Medicinal Chemistry says
the biochemistry is a guide to drug
discovery and for its application
for example the morphine is a drug that
reduce the pain in terminal cáncer
7. the biochemistry helps us understand The pathology of any
the biochemical changes and related disease is studied
physiological alteration in the body through biochemical
changes
8. in the present scenario many people
rely in taking multivitamin and minerals
for better health
the function and role of the vitamins
is described only by biochemistry
9. there are many disorders due
to hormonal imbalance in
specially women and children
the formation of hormones in the normal
body function is taught in biochemistry by
which the physician can understand the
concerned problem during treatment
10. Importance of biochemistry in Nursing
Biochemistry is of great use
within the field of
nursing, with many practical
applications that can assist
you in becoming a better
nurse..
11. Using biochemistry can be helpful
Knowing the chemical in the nursing profession, allowing
reactions of drugs to nurses to determine how much
the human body and medicine should be prescribed or
mixing said drugs given to each patient they
encounter
12.
13. The influence exercised by
the environment is reflected
both in morphological
structure, and chemical
structure of organisms.
Organic matter is
formed, transformed and is
degraded in any living
organism (plant, animal or
microorganism).
14. Biochemical processes play an
important role in many
branches of food industry and
especially in the process of
processing raw materials, plant
or animal kind. Another
example are the enzymes
involved in various processes
which help to improve crops
15. IMPORTANCE OF
BIOCHEMISTRY IN NUTRITION
For a maintenance of health
WATER IS NECESSARY
Optimum intake of many
chemicals
like
vitamins, minerals, es
sential fatty acids
16. The nutrients value of food material
can
also
Be determined by
biochemical tests
17. IMPORTANCE OF BIOCHEMISTRY IN PHARMACY
