Bioorganic Chemistry

Bioorganic chemistry is the study of the structure, function, and reactivity of organic molecules in biological systems. It bridges the fields of chemistry and biology, focusing on how organic compounds, such as proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates, contribute to cellular processes. Bioorganic chemists investigate enzyme mechanisms, signaling pathways, and molecular interactions to better understand diseases, drug development, and metabolic processes. This interdisciplinary field plays a critical role in advancing biochemistry, biotechnology, and pharmacology, offering insights into how organic chemistry principles govern life at the molecular level and contributing to the development of therapeutic strategies.
