RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN BIOCHEMICAL STUDIES
Biochemistry is a laboratory based science that brings together biology and chemistry. By using chemical knowledge and techniques it resolves several biological issues. Biochemistry has become the foundation for understanding all biological processes. It has advanced, especially since the mid-20th century, with the development of new techniques. These techniques allowed for the discovery and detailed analysis of many and led to an understanding of biochemistry on a molecular level.

STRUCTURAL BIOCHEMISTRY
Structural biochemistry aims to describe in molecular terms the structures, mechanisms, and chemical processes shared by all organisms, providing organizing principles that underlie life in all its diverse form. Macro molecules carry out most of the functions of cells, and it is only by coiling into specific three-dimensional shapes that they are able to perform these functions. This tertiary structure of molecules depends in a complicated way on each molecule's primary structure.

ENZYMES AS DRUG TARGETS

Enzymes are attractive targets for drug therapy because of their essential roles in life processes and properties like recycling. Although enzymes are essential for life, dys-regulated enzyme activity can also lead to disease states. In some cases mutations in genes encoding enzymes can lead to abnormally high concentrations of the enzyme within a cell (over expression). Hence in-depth study is necessary in order to modify enzymes as suitable targets in drug design.

ENZYME KINETICS
Enzyme kinetics involves the measurement of the rate at which chemical reactions that are catalysed by enzymes occur. Enzyme’s kinetics can reveal the catalytic mechanism of this enzyme, its role in metabolism, how its activity is controlled, and how a drug or an agonist might inhibit the enzyme. The kinetic constants can help explain how enzymes work and assist in the prediction of the behavior of enzymes in living organisms. Knowledge of the enzyme kinetic constants allows us to gain a better understanding of the enzymes and processes that take place in human metabolism.
