Subject description

Biochemistry is the study of chemical reactions and processes in a living cell, as well as of its components. The subject also comprises all the regulatory mechanisms that govern survival of the cell. Studies of the composition and function of membranes that surround the cell and separates it from its surroundings is also of great importance today. Bioinformatics is the study of theoretical descriptions of processes in a cell or organism as well as of its components. The subject also comprises all the regulatory mechanisms that govern survival of the cell. Theoretical studies of structures and processes based on the information in sequenced genomes play a significant role.
