Overview
Biochemistry biomimetic chemistry is a specialised field of biochemistry which uses natural processes as a basis to develop artificial or imitation chemical systems. It aims to imitate the complexity and dynamism of living systems and apply them to highly useful and relevant applications, such as drug discovery and target validation. It also allows for the production of new materials and fuels, and the development of new technologies such as self-healing materials, bio-inspired sensors, artificial enzymes and metabolic pathways. This field of biochemistry is crucial in helping to bridge the gap between biology and chemistry, and its applications have the potential to revolutionise the field of medicine and revolutionise industrial processes.
