Daily Problem 1: Vaccines

Biochemistry Solution:
Basic research focuses on the biochemistry and physical properties that disease-causing
microbes use to cause damage to the host. Such research also considers the biophysical
characteristics of the microbes that might be used in vaccines or drugs to prevent or interrupt the
disease process.

Daily Problem 2: Pests in Agricultural farm

Biochemistry Solution:
Through the use of biotechnology, scientists produce biological pesticides by harnessing
the pest-fighting abilities of existing plants and microbes.

Daily Problem 3: Plastic Wastes

Biochemistry Solution:
The polymers we use as plastics were designed to be durable and stable. They’re difficult
to break down on purpose.
Now, as the need for finding better ways to handle plastic waste grows, some researchers
are finding ways to take plastics apart. Several companies have started up in the past decade to
capitalize on these processes. Some methods return plastics to their monomeric form in the hope
that the reclaimed building blocks might replace fossil fuels as the feedstock for new materials.
