Biochemical Systems and Molecular Interactions

Biochemistry examines the chemical processes that occur within living organisms and biological systems. Proteins, enzymes, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids, and metabolites participate in interconnected reactions that regulate biological structure and function.

The behavior of these molecules depends on their structures, chemical bonds, surrounding environments, and interactions with other substances. Changes in temperature, pH, ionic strength, or solvent composition can influence their stability and activity.
