Q.DEFINE BIOCHEMISTRY AND SCOPE OF BIOCHEMISTRY.
Biochemistry-biochemistry is defined as the branch of science which deals with the study of chemical reaction takes place inside the living organism,
Scope of biochemistry-
- biochemistry is used in the clinical diagnosis and manufacturing of biological products including medicine, nutrition and agriculture.
- DRUG CONSTITUTION - Biochemistry helps in the constitution of new drug it also help to improve the efficacy of drug also helps in checking side effects of drug.
- HALF LIFE - half life of a drug is time to tale for a drug's active substance in body reduce to half . Biochemistry helps to determine the half life of a drug.
- CHANCES OF DEGRADATION OF DRUG - Biochemistry helps to determine stability of a drug by calculating chances of a it's degradation in atmospheric condition like temperature and humidity etc.
- EXPIRY DATE OF DEGRADATION - Biochemical test help to fix expiry date of drug .
- DRUG STORAGE - The storage conditions required for a drug can be determined by biochemical test . e.g. if enzyme and hormone are not stored properly being enzyme the can degrade or oxidize.
- DRUG METABOLISM - Biochemistry gives an idea of how drug molecule get metabolized by many biochemical reactions in the presence of enzyme ,this make to avoid drug with poor metabolism or to avoid those drugs with excessive side effects of prescribed medicine
- NUTRIONAL DEFICIENCY - Deficiency of biomolecule such as protein, lipid, vitamin, minerals, and water can cause diseases. Biochemical research have role in prevention by helping in identification of such deficiencies.
- DISEASE IDENTIFICATION - Biochemistry is closely related to the medicine, health depending upon proper balance of biochemical reaction . Abnormality helps to understand diseases to protein ,energy , malnutrition also involved error in metabolized carbohydrate and lipids.
- MECHANISM OF ACTION - Biochemical test provide details of drug for mode of action of drug which is important for it's molecular study.
