Biochemistry is the study of the molecular basis of life. Biochemists investigate the structure, function, and mechanisms of molecules found in nature, seeking to understand how these work in concert from bacteria to man. Understanding function at a molecular level not only provides us with insight about the underpinnings of life and its evolution, but allows us to directly tackle unsolved questions in human disease and improve the quality of life.
