Summary
The exploration of the universe with all its complex elements is the fundamental driver of the progress and development of humanity. This process is possible through the presence of various scientific disciplines that aim to cover the multi-faceted phenomena of nature. Biochemistry represents the nexus between the two fundamental branches of science: chemistry and biology (Fowler et al., 2013). They focus on the various basis of life itself, from elementary particles to complex organisms. Over the past century, biochemistry has enabled major breakthroughs in understanding life at the molecular level. Studying the internal processes within the cells of all organisms, this discipline provides insight into an array of natural phenomena, including the origin mechanisms of various diseases. This way, scientists discover new ways of treatment to previously incurable conditions.
For this purpose, an in-depth understanding of complex molecules is required. Abstract ideas are naturally difficult to fathom for a human mind, especially on the micro-level. However, biochemists have learned to translate such ideas into comprehensible models that facilitate the development of effective solutions. Another method of making the aspects of biochemistry fathomable and clear for people consists of using various indicators. For example, the pH scale reflects the biochemical properties of a solution in a concise quantitative form. This way, the complex knowledge is condensed into specific numbers within the scale, making the research more efficient with a well-established framework of reference.
