THE ROLE OF BIOCHEMISTRY IN DRUG DEVELOPMENT AND PERSONALIZED MEDICINE
Keywords:
Biochemistry, Drug Development, Personalized Medicine, Pharmacogenomics, Enzymes, MetabolismAbstract
Biochemistry is a fundamental scientific discipline that connects chemistry and medicine at the molecular level. It plays a crucial role in drug development by explaining how drugs interact with biological systems, including enzymes, receptors, and genetic material. In recent years, personalized medicine has gained significant attention due to its ability to tailor medical treatment based on an individual’s biochemical and genetic profile. This article aims to analyze the role of biochemistry in the development of pharmaceutical drugs and its importance in the advancement of personalized medicine. The study highlights how biochemical mechanisms improve drug efficacy, reduce side effects, and contribute to more precise medical treatments.
