Computational Biochemistry

Computational Biochemistry is an interdisciplinary field of study which uses computer-based techniques to study the chemistry and function of biological molecules. Its aim is to provide an understanding of the structure, dynamics, and interactions of biological molecules, and their implications for the functional behaviour of biological systems. It combines the application of various techniques, such as quantum mechanical models, molecular modeling, protein structure prediction, and statistical analysis. It is used to study the mechanisms of molecules such as enzymes, peptides, proteins, DNA, and RNA, as well as their transport and signalling properties. Additionally, it has applications in drug design, protein engineering, and medicine, as well as for understanding biological processes like metabolic pathways.
