BIOCHEMISTRY THE LANGUAGE OF MEDICINE

Dhastagir Sultan Sheriff

Abstract


Biochemistry is one of the fundamental basic medical subject
1 that can be called as molecular tongue of medicine. The field
is growing in leaps and bounds in every aspect of cellular and
molecular biochemistr y. Rather the application of
fundamental basic research in Biochemistry has a remarkable
effect on the development of modern medicine. The recent
trend in medical education is trying to shorten the period of
teaching basic medical science subjects including
Biochemistry to undergraduate medical students. The
introduction of competency based teaching has resulted in
shortening the duration of teaching Biochemistry to Medical
2 students.
