Editor Note – Biochemistry & Analytical Biochemistry

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, molecular biology and biophysics had facilitated the discoveries and inventions in the field of biochemistry. Analytical chemistry is focused on the creation of new measurement techniques and tools, experimental designs, chemometrics, etc., playing an important role in opening new avenues in biochemistry. Recently the research in biochemistry reached to molecular level and now the terms molecular biology and biochemistry have become nearly interchangeable.
