Advances in Pharmaceutical Biochemistry

Description

The science of biochemistry is the application of chemistry to the study of living things and the atoms and molecules that make them up. Examine the definition of biochemistry and the significance of the field. Biochemistry, often known as biological chemistry, studies chemical reactions that occur inside and around living things. Pharmaceutical biochemistry is the area of drug development concerned with the metabolism and biochemistry of human health and disease. Medical chemists are trained in the management and administration of clinical biochemistry laboratories and serve as experts in all areas of their application. Medical chemists supervise clinical laboratories, provide patient consultations, make diagnoses, and administer treatments for various metabolic and biochemical problems. Pharmaceutical biochemistry can be found in classic medicinal chemistry or pharmaceutical sciences departments, which have historically been connected to pharmacy schools. Some chemistry departments offer medicinal chemistry programs as well, but students are frequently not exposed to crucial biological concepts that are required for a prosperous career in drug research. The drug discovery and development process is the focus of the Pharmaceutical Biochemistry research efforts, which serve as an interface between pharmaceutical chemistry, biochemistry, structural biology, computational chemistry, and biopharmaceutics. This book is mainly written with professionals and students in the pharmaceutical sector in mind. It provides a succinct introduction to the chemistry of therapeutically active molecules while assuming little prior knowledge of the topic.
