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

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

DIAGNOSIS, PROGNOSIS
AND TREATMENT

This can manifest as a deficiency disease
