Biomolecule purification is a critical process in biochemistry and molecular biology, aimed at isolating a single type of biomolecule from a complex mixture. This process is essential for studying the structure, function, and interactions of biomolecules, enabling advancements in research, diagnostics, and therapeutic development.

Biomolecule Purification

Critical Process

Biochemistry is the branch of science that explores the chemical processes within and related to living organisms, serving as a bridge between biology and chemistry. It focuses on understanding how biological molecules give rise to the processes that occur within living cells and tissues, influencing the structure and function of organisms.

Biochemistry

Molecular biology is a branch of science that explores the structure and function of the molecules essential to life, focusing on the interactions between various systems of a cell, including the interrelationship of DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis. It provides insights into the molecular mechanisms of genetic replication, transcription, translation, and cell function, forming the foundation for understanding complex biological processes and disease mechanisms.
