    Study Notes

    Introduction to Biochemistry

    • Biochemistry is the study of the chemical processes that occur within living organisms

    Breakthrough in 1828

    • Friedrich Wöhler achieved the synthesis of urea in 1828, which marked a significant milestone in the development of biochemistry
    • This discovery refuted the long-held belief that organic compounds could only be obtained from living organisms

    19th Century Advancements in Biology

    • The 19th century witnessed significant advancements in the development of biology, paving the way for the emergence of biochemistry as a distinct field of study

    Interdisciplinary Nature of Biochemistry

    • Biochemistry bridges the gap between biology and chemistry, exploring the chemical processes that underlie biological phenomena

    Composition of Living Organisms

    • Living organisms are basically made up of biomolecules such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids
