Biochemistry or biological chemistry deals with biomolecules (molecules found in living organisms): their structure and their location in tissues (structural biochemistry), the chemical transformations by which they are synthesized and degraded (Dynamic biochemistry) and their role in living organism. The study of biochemistry is essential to understand basic functions of the body. This will give information regarding the functioning of cells at the molecular level.

This Module is organized around the three major themes, each of them is also subdivided into different chapters: I. Biomolecules:  carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, glycoconjugates and nucleic acids

II. Vitamins, Coenzymes and Biocatalysts: Chemistry of Vitamins and coenzymes and their physiological role, study of the properties, classification, kinetics and catalytic mechanism of enzymes.
