Biological Sciences (Biochemistry)

About this course

Biochemistry is the science of life at the molecular level, concerned with the chemical processes and molecules that underlie all biological activity. It asks how the complex mixture of molecules and chemicals that make up living organisms function, interact, and give rise to the remarkable complexity of life. From the structure of proteins and the mechanisms of enzyme catalysis to the regulation of gene expression and the molecular basis of disease, biochemistry operates at the frontier where chemistry and biology meet, and its insights are central to medicine, biotechnology, and our fundamental understanding of how living systems work. At Leicester, this three-year degree within the biological sciences framework develops your understanding of the key molecules and processes that govern living systems, including proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, carbohydrates, and the metabolic and sign
