Structure and function of biomolecules (proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids)
Introduction to Biomolecules
Biomolecules are the cornerstone of life, representing a diverse and intricate group of organic compounds that are essential for the structure and function of living organisms. They can be categorized into four major classes: proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids. Each class plays specific and indispensable roles in biological processes, providing the necessary tools for cellular functions, energy storage, and the maintenance of life itself.
