  Biochemistry - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
See the article on molecular biology for a diagram and description of the interrelationship between biochemistry, molecular biology, and genetics.
Biochemistry is the study of the structure and function of cellular components, such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules.
Today, the findings of biochemistry are used in many areas, from genetics to molecular biology and from agriculture to medicine.
