Document Summary

Biochemistry is the study of life at the molecular level. It is a field of science closely linked to molecular biology and focuses upon the four main molecules responsible for life: proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. The central dogma in biology conveys the notion that all life forms store genetic information in the form of dna, which can be copied and transferred in the form of rna through transcription. It is here that this information is interpreted as codons for amino acids that give rise to proteins, the ultimate expression of genes, by way of the process of translation. In summary, francis crick was of the opinion that all nucleic acids in an organism"s genome would eventually become expressed in the form of proteins. As credible as the central dogma appears, there are certain biological factors that actually violate this reasoning. These include: epigenetic factors, micro rna and post-translational modification.
