Biochemistry is the study of the chemical components in living things, and the interplay between such components.  As such its practical applications are virtually boundless.  Two of the biggest fields of work that require biochemistry knowledge are pharmaceuticals, and genetics. The pharmaceutical industry greatly relies on biochemistry because the chemical make-up of the body must be studied in relationship to the chemicals we might put in out body via prescription or over the counter drugs.  Certain medications have been developed specifically because of biochemistry research. For example, antidepressants like Paxil,  Zoloft and Prozac, called serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), are used because there is an underlying medical assumption that in depressed people, serotonin gets used too quickly by the body.  This affects mood significantly.  By inhibiting the body’s quick grab for serotonin, more free serotonin is allowed to circulate and thus imp...

This article throws light upon the top four classes of biomolecules. The top four classes of biomolecules are: (1) Carbohydrates (2) Lipids (3) Proteins and Amino Acids and (4) Isoprenoids and Pigments. Biomolecules: The living matter is composed of mainly six elements — carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur. These elements together constitute about 90% of the dry weight of the human body. Several other functionally important elements are also found in the cells. These include Ca, K, Na, CI, Mg, Fe, Cu, Co, I, Zn, F, Mo and Se. Carbon—a unique element of life: ADVERTISEMENTS: Carbon is the most predominant and versatile element of life. It possesses a unique property to form infinite number of compounds. This is attributed to the ability of carbon to form stable covalent bonds and C—C chains of unlimited length. It is estimated that about 90% of compounds found in living system invariably contain carbon. Chemical Molecules of Life: Life is composed of lifeless chem...
