Comparative biochemistry is the study of similarities and differences in the biochemical processes and molecules of different organisms, often to understand evolutionary relationships and adaptations. By comparing the biochemical compositions and functions of various species, scientists can gain insights into how organisms have evolved over time and adapted to different environments.
Clinical biochemistry is a branch of medical science that focuses on the analysis of body fluids to diagnose and monitor diseases. It involves the study of chemical processes and reactions within the body to understand how they can be used in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of various medical conditions.
Biochemistry
Biochemistry is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms, while applied biochemistry applies this knowledge to practical purposes such as biotechnology, medicine, and food science. Applied biochemistry focuses on using the principles of biochemistry to solve real-world problems and develop new technologies.
Biochemistry is fundamental to understanding how life works.
Analytical Biochemistry as a field emerged in the early 20th century with the development of techniques for separating and quantifying biological molecules. In 1957, the first Journal of Analytical Biochemistry was published, solidifying the field's identity and importance in biological research.

An example of evidence of evolution based on comparative biochemistry is the presence of homologous proteins across different species that share similar sequences and structures, indicating a common evolutionary ancestor. By comparing the amino acid sequences of these proteins, scientists can trace the genetic relationships between different organisms and uncover their evolutionary history.

Biology has about 29 branches which deals with the study of both plants and animals. Some of these branches are comparative anatomy, morphology, ecology, biochemistry and molecular biology.

Biochemistry is a chapter of chemistry; biochemistry is the chemistry of living organisms.
Biochemistry in Tagalog is "biokimika."
(of an adjective or adverb) expressing a higher degree of a quality, but not the highest possible (e.g., braver; more fiercely).

Pharmaceutical biochemistry is the branch of biochemistry that focuses on the study of drugs, their chemical structures, how they interact with biological systems, and their mechanisms of action in treating diseases. It involves exploring the various biochemical processes involved in drug metabolism, pharmacokinetics, and drug interactions within the body.
