BIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY AND MICROBIOLOGY

Biochemistry or biological chemistry is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms. A sub-discipline of both chemistry and biology, Biochemistry may be divided into three fields: structural biology, enzymology, and metabolism. Biochemistry focuses on understanding the chemical basis which allows biological molecules to give rise to the processes that occur within living cells and between cells in turn relating greatly to the understanding of tissues and organs as well as organism structure and function.Biochemistry is closely related to molecular biology, the study of the molecular mechanisms of biological phenomenon.

Microbiology is an essential and invaluable branch of biology. Microbiologists play an integral role in combating disease, producing chemicals for the betterment of humanity and agriculture, and keeping the planet healthy. They are also instrumental in identifying microorganisms found in food and food-related products. Through the study of microbiology, we can better understand the microorganisms present in food, preventing spoilage and infection, and making food safer. Many scientists employ beneficial bacteria to combat pathogenic bacteria and avert food contamination.

Chemistry-II

The objective of the program is to empower the students with the basic and advance knowledge of physical, inorganic and organic chemistry, for future application in various field.
