The proteome is the entire complement of proteins encoded in the genome-it is larger, more complex, and more closely related to function than the genome. Analysis of the proteome is an area of specialization that can be applied to cancer biology, biomarker diagnostics, and molecular medicine. Biochemists seek explanations for the molecular basis of life. They are primarily interested in the relationship of molecular structure with function, but modern Biochemistry now covers a broad range of approaches to fundamental questions and practical problems. Biochemistry merges biology and chemistry and covers some of the most exciting areas of the life sciences. Modern biochemical research includes structural biology, proteomics, genomics, epigenetics, signal transduction, gene expression and development, metabolic diseases, bioinformatics, and molecular evolution.<br>Careers<br>Health-care professional, Biotechnologist, Pharmacologist, Industrial chemist, Research and development professional
