dear editor regarding to development of basic science and new methods in biochemistry in recent years, practical biochemistry contents should be optimized (1). therefore, re-attitude biochemistry course contents in medical schools has paralleled worldwide trends a moved from current status is needed (2, 3). as reported by investi­gators many medical schools around the world have reformed their ...

in protein biochemistry, biochemists specially study proteins as complex polymers. protein biochemistry is the study of the chemical structure of proteins, including individual amino acids, their linkage as well as physical structure of proteins. proteins, especially globular proteins, are three dimensional in nature. proper function of globular proteins is tightly related to their three-dimens...

BACKGROUND We investigated the differences in serum biochemistry levels between breast-fed and formula-fed infants. We provide reference values of serum biochemistry levels for 4-week-old (w/o) and 8 w/o infants for future clinical applications. METHODS Sixty healthy infants were enrolled in this study (30 infants were included in the breast-fed and formula-fed groups, respectively). During h...

Biochemistry is the study of structures, functions and interactions of biomolecules, such as carbohydrates, nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, etc. and their metabolisms. Advancements in biochemistry helps in the advancement of different fields like agriculture, medicine, nutrition, etc., which are directly related to it. Combination of biochemical techniques with techniques and ideas of genetics...

(1) The theme of the survey is that metalloenzymes represent rather unique' metal complexes when compared to the simpler system generally studied by coordination chemists. This theme is introduced by a brief presentation of the historical development of the metalloenzyme field, particularly the contributions of 0. Warburg and D. Keilin. (2) Various types of metal ion—protein interactions and th...

Phosphorus (P) is an essential element for life. It occurs in living beings in the form of phosphate, which is ubiquitous in biochemistry, chiefly in the form of C-O-P (carbon, oxygen and phosphorus), C-P, or P-O-P linkages to form life. Within prebiotic chemistry, several key questions concerning phosphorus chemistry have developed: what were the most likely sources of P on the early Earth? Ho...

The main goal of this study is to understand the hydrological and biochemical set up and processes of a marine coastal area located in the western side of the south Adriatic sea (the gulf of Manfredonia) by the use of both satellite images and in situ investigations A water sampling in the gulf of Manfredonia was performed at 18 fixed stations in June 2003; physico-chemical and biological param...
