Biochemistry is the study
of structural, organization,
and functions of living
matter at the molecular
level.

A brief history of
biochemistry
Friedrich Wohler (1828)
A brief history of
biochemistry
Roll forward to 2009 (181 years later)
We can now view the steps of protein synthesis by
ribosomes at the atomic level
Biochemist questions
What are the chemical structure of the components
of living matter?
How do the interaction of these components give rise
to organized supramolecular structures, cells,
multicellular tissues, and organism?
How does living matter extract energy from its
surroundings in order to remain alive?
How does an organism store and transmit the
information it needs to grow and to reproduce itself
accurately?
What chemical changes accompany the reproduction,
aging, and death of cells and organisms?
How are chemical reactions controlled inside living
cells?

Foundation of Biochemistry
All living organisms fall into one of three large groups (kingdoms, or
domains) that define three branches of evolution from a common
progenitor
