Structural Biochemistry

Structural Biochemistry is a subdivision of biochemistry which concentrates on the components, structures and functions of molecules within cells.  Biochemists intention is to describe in molecular terms like structures, mechanisms, and chemical processes, providing organized principles that underlie life in all its diverse forms. It is a subdivision of biochemistry mainly focused on the components, structures and functions of molecules that make up the living organisms. Biochemistry explains the phenomenon of life in chemical terms by using various theories in Chemistry and the laws of Physics. Structural Biochemistry deals with major functions like, to understand molecular architecture of cells and organelles, inclosing membrane structure and dynamics, the control of cell proliferation and also the significance for clinical and veterinary practice of the molecular approach to medical science
