You know what a lima bean does when it's attacked by spider mites? It releases this volatile chemical that goes out into the world and summons another species of mite that comes in and attacks the spider mite, defending the lima bean. So what plants have - while we have consciousness, toolmaking, language, they have biochemistry.

Irwin Rose

I floated around in the department of biochemistry and learned some interesting things, and then I began to... I never wanted to work with a mentor because I always wanted to have my own reputation and be free to do what I wanted to do. So I worked with the weakest people in the department. Don't make that public.

Many of our young people spend four years getting very expensive college degrees. But our universities fail them and the nation if they continue to graduate students with expertise in biochemistry, mathematics or history without teaching them to think about what problems are important and why.

American Politician

Elizabeth Blackburn

I chose biochemistry as my major and graduated after 4 years with an Honours degree in Biochemistry. During that time, I had come to love biochemistry research, although I was just getting my feet wet in laboratory research.

Australian Scientist

Aaron Ciechanover

Biochemistry is the science of life. All our life processes - walking, talking, moving, feeding - are essentially chemical reactions. So biochemistry is actually the chemistry of life, and it's supremely interesting.

Israeli Scientist

Cindy Crawford

I think if people are passionate about something, it could be real estate or biochemistry, and that spark gets turned on in them, everyone's beautiful in that zone.

American Model

Kurt Vonnegut

I have no degree in biochemistry, neither do I have one in mechanical engineering, as the Army saw fit to terminate both courses before they were finished.

American Writer

Rupert Sheldrake

To describe the overwhelming life of a tropical forest just in terms of inert biochemistry and DNA didn't seem to give a very full picture of the world.

British Scientist

Kerry Bishe

My brother has a Ph.D. in biochemistry, which I find so totally impressive.

By the time I was 12 or 13, I was studying biochemistry textbooks.

Biochemistry refers to studying life's molecular foundation, often in a university setting.

Academic Field

Biochemistry involves experiments in laboratories to understand how living things function at a molecular level.

Research Oriented

In biochemistry, you'll explore how cells and organs work together through chemical reactions.

Life Processes

In medicine, biochemistry helps in understanding diseases and crafting treatments based on chemical knowledge.

Medical Context

Biochemistry is key in analyzing how diseases affect biological functions at the chemical level.

Disease Investigation

Biochemistry can be focused on the chemical processes of a specific organism, like humans, plants, or bacteria.

Organism Specific

Environmental biochemistry examines chemical interactions within ecosystems and their impact on nature.

Environment Focus

Biochemical processes in the environment, like photosynthesis, play a significant role in the Earth's climate system.

Climate Impact

This area of biochemistry looks into how particular chemicals behave in different natural settings.

Specific Substance Study

 So I brought my two biochemistry friends and we went to talk to him about our crazy theory. And that theory was that life produces all small molecules, so many molecules. Like, everything I could think of, but not being a chemist. Think about carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, molecular hydrogen, molecular nitrogen, methane, methyl chloride --

 that affect our biochemistry. We were evolved in an era where it wasn't in the interests of people at the age of most people at this conference, like myself, to live much longer, because we were using up the precious resources which were better deployed towards the children and those caring for them. So, life -- long lifespans --
