Biography:

Muhammad Usman has been the Former Director General of Agricultural Research System, Government of Pakistan who retired from service after a spotless career of about 35 years with senior level experience on research and development of integrated agricultural industries with regard to livestock and dairy development, poultry sustainable agricultural production system and biochemistry. He established “Prominent Agro Based Industries SDN BHD” in Malaysia and “Foundation for Rural Development in Pakistan”, with primarily aims to work on integrated agricultural project for Rural Development through improvement in agriculture for rehabilitation of affected area.

Abstract

Biochemistry, sometimes called biological chemistry, is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms. Biochemistry is the application of chemistry to the study of biological processes at the cellular and molecular level. The knowledge and methods developed by biochemists are applied to in all fields of medicine, in agriculture and in many chemical and health related industries. Biochemistry involves the study of what is going on in living cells on the molecular level and consist of proteins which is said that "life" depends on chemicals called as proteins. Carbohydrates and lipids are the other major types of biochemical. Carbohydrates serve two main purposes, to provide cell structure and energy to every cell. Cholesterol and trans-fatty acids are types of lipids. Biochemistry is the study of biological processes that occur in cells and organisms. Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids are the most common biological molecules studied by biochemists. Biochemistry also encompasses the science of molecular biology. This includes immunochemistry, neurochemistry and bioinorganic, bioorganic and biophysical chemistry. Biochemistry is applied in various areas, including medicine, dentistry, industry, agriculture and food science. The discipline overlaps with many other fields of science, including pharmacology, physiology, microbiology and clinical chemistry. A multidisciplinary approach to research allows scientists to examine the mechanism of a drug action or conduct research related to organ functions. In the light of the above study, it is concluded that biochemistry plays and important role and without biochemistry life is almost impossible
