of science. The field plays a significant role in the creation of unique new scientific methodologies by
combining the key tenets of biology and chemistry. But how significant is it in Pharmacy?
Biochemistry and pharmacy plays mutually cooperative role as it relates the different aspects of health
and diseases/. We also know that biochemistry focuses on the different biochemical process that is very
important in the drug development in the field of pharmacy. A drug's action almost usually entails a
change in the biochemical processes that are occurring in the body. Pharmacologists must be familiar
with the biochemical components of the human body as a result. Biochemical testing in pharmacy gives
crucial information about a drug's: mode of action, half-life, storage conditions, metabolism, and poten-
The different biomolecules plays different role in the human body like the Nucleic acid is an important
class of macromolecules found in all cells and viruses. The functions of nucleic acids have to do with the
storage and expression of genetic information Amino acid which provide the monomer units of the long
polypeptide chains of proteins and these amino acids and its derivatives has a great role in cellular func-
tions in the body. Proteins are the basic components of life. Protein is found in every cell of the human
body. A chain of amino acids makes up the basic structure of protein. Protein is required in your diet in
order for your body to repair and replace cells. Protein is also necessary for children's, adolescents, and
pregnant women's growth and development. Lipids are a heterogeneous group of compounds, includ-
ing, fats, oils, steroids, waxes and related compounds, that are related more by their physical than their
chemical properties Within the body, lipids function as an energy reserve, regulate hormones, transmit
In pharmacy, biochemistry was extremely important. Many pharmaceuticals are preserved for frequent
use in pharmacies, and biochemistry gives an indication of the drug's composition, its risks of degrada-
