The science of placid life amidst the vibrancy of atomic interactions. The unfolding of the sacred scrolls of DNA to direct the orchestra of atoms and molecules, echoing its divine tunes. The waves of the body fluids in the stream of life, and the magnificent tides of the molecular signaling dominos. The intricacies of compartmentalization in the sonata of life with the carriers, shuttles and transport proteins performing their preordained roles.
The energy flow beneath the process of digestion and absorption. The quietness of ions and metabolites beneath the pumping heart and the breathing lungs. The amazing ensemble of enzymes molding the substrates through unique conformations. The tales of the markers and signals, tags and moieties, receptors and ligands, their diversity and oneness towards the unique purpose of life.
Welcome to the world of biochemistry and molecular biology. It’s a two-year journey through medical school but also an ongoing understanding of the mechanism of action of drugs, the pathologic basis of disease and the molecular basis of medicine. Knowledge of biochemistry is going to equip you with some remarkable tools for disease diagnosis, monitoring and prognosis as well as research opportunities to reduce suffering and bring happiness in lives.
