Biochemistry deals with the chemistry of life, and as such it draws on the techniques of analytical, organic, and physical chemistry, as well as those of physiologists concerned with the molecular basis of vital processes. All chemical changes within the organism-either the degradation of substances, generally to gain necessary energy, or the buildup of complex molecules necessary for life processes-are collectively termed metabolism. The origin of cells was the most important step in the evolutionary theory of life on Earth. The birth of the cell marked the passage from pre-biotic chemistry to partitioned units resembling modern cells. The final transition to living entities that fulfill al...
Membrane structures are spatial structures made out of tensioned membranes. The structural use of membranes can be divided into pneumatic structures, tensile membrane structures, and cable domes. In these three kinds of structure, membranes work together with cables, columns and other construction members to find a form. Peripheral membrane proteins are found on the outside and inside surfaces of membranes, attached either to integral proteins or to phospholipids. Unlike integral membrane proteins, peripheral membrane proteins do not stick into the hydrophobic core of the membrane, and they tend to be more loosely attached. Cells are the smallest units of life. They are a closed system, can ...

Monthly magazine devoted to topics of general scientific interest.
The Information Technology Specialist III Passbook(R) prepares you for your test by allowing you to take practice exams in the subjects you need to study. It provides hundreds of questions and answers in the areas that will likely be covered on your upcoming exam, including but not limited to: logical reasoning using flowcharts; understanding and interpreting a manual; preparing written material; systems analysis; and more.
Biochemistry is the branch of science use to study chemical reactions in organisms. Biotechnology is a branch of science which help as catalyst (device or instrument) study biochemistry and many other field of science. Examining cells at a molecular level, biochemistry develops our understanding of the chemistry of life, revealing the complex processes in operation in living systems. Biotechnology harnesses these advances of understanding for beneficial use in industry, medicine and agriculture. Amino acids can be joined covalently through peptide bonds to form peptides, which can also be formed by incomplete hydrolysis of polypeptides. The acid-base behavior and chemical reactions of a pept...
We are all aware of opportunities created by advances in molecular biology. Living cells and their components can be used to produce a large number of useful compounds such as therapeutics and other products. But to obtain significant benefits as a commercial operation, molecular biology needs the support of biochemical engineering. The vital area of biotechnology that is concerned with practical application of biological agents (whole cell systems and biocatalysts) and the methodologies and processes associated with it on an industrial scale is biochemical engineering. Biochemical engineering is applicable in different areas of biotechnology such as biochemical reactions, enzyme technology,...
