Biochemistry is the study of the chemistry of living beings.
This department gathers and organizes contents on Biochemistry. Of course, Biochemistry being a laboratory-based subject, it will be hard for you to do anything practical with this.

- Vitalism - Is vitalism dead? Is mechanicism firmly established? Are all life processes, including consciousness, emotions, feelings (sentiments), and the sense of being oneself (Self) chemical and organic processes and functions, as neurologist António Damásio says ([1], [2], [3])? Is there a life force that drives the processes of the emergence of life on Earth, growth, tissue differentiation, morphogenesis ([4][5]) and of tissue repair? Something like the Egyptians Ka ([6]) ? It's true that the controversy between materialism and idealisms has thousands of years and is likely to stay around; but what do you think yourself?
