Biochemistry

Introduction Methionine and cysteine are both sulphur containing amino acids. Most proteins will contain one, or both of them at some point in the polypeptide chain. As such, many amino acids contain sulphur in some form, which is required in small amounts in the mammalian diet. Methionine has a thioether side chain, and cysteine's contains a thiol group. These side chains exist as free thiols inside the cell, and are oxidised causing them to pair up and form disulphide bonds in an extracellular

option as a biochemist major is a medical biochemistry technician, where the person would perform routine tests and sample analysis, then communicate the results to doctors, if in a research laboratory, they perform simple experiments and sample preparation. Another career option would be a medical research scientist a person in this career would have to hold a medical degree because they would be communicating with patients. One other option would be a biochemistry professor in the field one would be

Biochemist The field of biochemistry is centered on the exploration of living things through chemical and physical research. Bio chemist focus their work on researching the important factors that go into learning about genetics, the development of growth and many other biological processes that occur in the human body. The field makes several contributions to the advancement and protection of human life, as well as provides important research needed for future generations. Biochemist work with

studied at Stanford University California. Paul Berg also went to Pennsylvania State University for his Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry. He graduated and received his Bachelor of Science in 1948. For Paul Berg’s PHD he went to Case Western Reserve University. Paul’s field was in Biochemistry. Paul received his nobel prize for his fundamental studies of biochemistry of the nucleic acids with the particular regard to recombinant DNA. Paul Berg received his nobel prize in 1980 along with two other

that a Biochemist studies. Both careers need biochemistry, anatomy, and mathematics in college and a student will need a graduate degree to advance in either field. My ideal career is Biochemistry. I want to develop new treatments and medications that will some day save lives. I enjoy working in a laboratory with a team of individuals, attempting to decipher complex experiments. I also enjoy knowing that what I am doing will help others. Biochemistry plays to my academic strengths the best. A General

goal for my education plan. My major was not something that I decided on right away. I have had a passion for science and I knew I wanted to do something in that field. Initially my major began with Chemistry, which lead me to Biochemistry. This was awesome because Biochemistry holds all the prerequisites for Medical school while maintaining a fair amount of Chemistry. Planning my education plan has always been a top priority for me and has led me to where I am today. My education plan started in my

egg” project is based on the ideas of biochemistry. Biochemistry explores the chemical processes related to living organisms. This is a science that brings together biology and chemistry. Biochemistry focuses on processes happening at molecular level, what's happening inside our cells, studying components like proteins, and lipids and organelles. It looks at how cells communicate with each other. Through the comprehension of specific idea about biochemistry the experiment of the “naked egg” can be

will spend more time in the library studying, like I have been doing for the last four years. I can volunteer my free-time, applying my major to a better cause. By volunteering at a hospital, I would be able to learn and understand how to apply biochemistry to helping others.

education I had ever had. When a student talked about the Vagelos Scholars program: A Intensive biochemistry program that allow students to approach biochemistry with knowledge of physics and Mathematics that enables them to see things in ways previously Unthought of, I concluded that this will be the Ideal place for me because it would present the opportunity I have always craved to study and research biochemistry to confront and solve the scientific problems that will shape and define our

background knowledge in biochemical, physiological, and behavioral processes. This major gives students many marketable opportunities in medicine, dietetics, and clinical research. Finally, the third major that I would consider is Molecular Biology and Biochemistry. This major encompasses many principles of the biological systems as well as supplementing knowledge from Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. The spectrum of careers and applications of this major include research in biotechnology and genetic engineering
