WELCOME TO THE BIOCHEMISTRY PORTAL

Part of the School of Chemistry and the School of Biology
Biochemistry Portal

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.
