Biochemistry with Professional Training Year

Biochemistry is the study of biological molecules, including proteins and nucleic acids, and the enzymes that regulate their structure, function and interactions. Biochemistry has its origins in early 20th century studies of enzymes, and continues to be fundamental to understanding the biochemical processes underlying biology. In particular, the study of enzymes has been vital to medicine, because they are essential for the synthesis of proteins and other biomolecules that are vital to life.
