Biochemistry

The study of the chemistry of living organisms, especially the structure and function of their chemical components. It has advanced rapidly with the development, from the mid-20th century, of such techniques as chromatography, X-ray diffraction, radio isotopic labeling, and electron microscopy.

Using these techniques to separate and analyse biologically important molecules, the steps of the metabolic pathways in which they are involved have been determined.
