Biochemistry is a core basic science subject in the MBBS program that explores the chemical processes and molecular interactions within living organisms. The curriculum covers the structure and function of biomolecules (proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids), enzymology, metabolism (including pathways like glycolysis and the Krebs cycle), molecular biology, and clinical biochemistry related to diseases. Students learn to correlate biochemical principles with medical conditions such as diabetes, metabolic disorders, and nutritional deficiencies. Mastery of biochemistry is crucial for understanding disease mechanisms, pharmacotherapy, and interpreting diagnostic laboratory tests.
