About the Course: M.Sc BioChemistry
- Biochemistry in general deals with body substance like enzymes, carbohydrates, amino acids, fats, proteins, hormones, DNA, RNA, pigments, etc.
- Biochemistry is a laboratory based science that brings together biology and chemistry. By using chemical knowledge and techniques, biochemists can understand and solve biological problems. ... Because of its breadth, biochemistry is very important and advances in this field of science over the past 100 years have been staggering.
- The importance of biochemistry is immense and indispensable in our daily life activities. It is used in clinical diagnosis, manufacture of various biological products, treatment of diseases, in nutrition, agriculture, etc.
- The study of biochemistry helps one understand the actual chemical concepts of biology.
- Its Scope & Importance in Medicine, Agriculture etc The importance of biochemistry is immense and indispensable in our daily life activities.
- It is used in clinical diagnosis, manufacture of various biological products, treatment of diseases, in nutrition, agriculture, etc.
- It describes their origin, formation, function, deficiency symptoms, etc. It tries to explain life in terms of biochemical reactions. One can understand all the chemical reactions happening at the molecular level in a living cell or living being. The role of biochemistry and its importance in various fields is as described below.
- Biochemistry is a valuable subject in medicine without which there would have been no such advancement in the field.
- Physiology: Biochemistry helps one understand the biochemical changes and related physiological alteration in the body. Pathology of any disease is studied through biochemical changes.
- Pathology: Based on the symptoms described by the patient, the physician can get a clue on the biochemical change and the associated disorder.
- Nutrition deficiency: In the present scenario, many people rely on taking multivitamin & minerals for better health. The function and role of the vitamin in the body are described only by biochemistry.
- Hormonal deficiency: There are many disorders due to hormonal imbalance in especially women and children. The formation, role of hormones in the normal body function is taught in biochemistry by which the physician can understand the concerned problem during treatment.
- In nursing, the importance of clinical biochemistry is invaluable. When a patient is in the hospital nurses, need to keep a watch on how his condition is progressing through clinical biochemistry.
- That is the treatment for helping him recover from said condition etc. Almost all diseases or disorders have some biochemical involvement. So the diagnosis of any clinical condition is easily possible by biochemical estimations.
- Kidney function test: For example in kidney disorders, other chemotherapy treatment, etc. urine test help understand the extent of excretion of drugs or other metabolites, the change in pH, the color of urine, etc.
