Document Summary

Biochemistry is the study of the molecules of life , what makes the organs work at the cellular level. Dogma doesn"t necessarily mean it"s true, but in science there"s a factual basis. Genotype: actual genome, sequence of nucleotides in the dna sum of inheritable potential. Phenotype: result from genotype, what you can see sum of observable characteristics: ex of genotype vs phenotype: anyone can have a 6-pack if you lower your body fat and work out but an 8-pack is genetic. Defects in dna can lead to defects in proteins. Everybody"s genotype is different, response to medicine may be different. Proteomics studies the full set of proteins encoded by a genome. Complicated by the fact that a lot of diseases aren"t just based one gene. Proteins are the most abundant molecules in living systems, made up of amino acids strung together in long polymer chains.
