This text attempts to provide a clear and straightforward account of the biochemistry underlying the physiological functions of different cells, tissues or organs essential for human life. The approach highlights the contribution that functional biochemistry makes to health and, when it is disturbed, to ill health and disease. It attempts to link biochemistry, medical education and clinical practice. Structural biochemistry and molecular biology are kept to a minimum in favour of a focus on the dynamic aspects of biochemistry and its immediate importance for health.

There has been considerable effort on the prediction of secondary and tertiary structures of protein from the amino acid sequence using computeraided minimal potential energy calculations8). The question as to how a primary amino acid sequence begins to produce secondary and super-secondary structures and fold into its equilibrium tertiary structure and functional domains is a very active field of structural biochemistry. A related problem is the mechanism by which a protein unfolds or denatures 20) which is of fundamental interest in the protein adsorption process.

The distinct feature of biochemistry is that it uses the principles and language of one science, chemistry, to explain the other science, biology at the molecular level. Biochemistry can be divided into three principal areas (1) Structural biochemistry focuses on the structural chemistry of the components of living matter and the relationship between chemical structure and biological function. (2) Dynamic biochemistry deals with the totality of chemical reactions known as metabolic processes that occur in living systems and their regulations. (3) Information biochemistry is... 

Comparing and overlapping two protein structures quantitatively remain an active area of development in structural biochemistry. Methods for protein comparison generally rely on a fast full search of protein structure database. Some of these methods that are available over the Internet are listed in Table 15.1.
