Is biochemistry part of chemistry

is a sub-discipline of chemistry. It is the basic life science that studies the chemical composition and structure of living matter and various chemical changes during life activities.

Biochemistry focuses on the molecular structure and function of organisms, the metabolism and regulation of substances, and the molecular basis and regulatory laws of genetic information transfer. Emphasis is placed on the use of methods in chemical synthesis to answer relevant questions found in biochemistry.

Strictly speaking, biochemistry is neither traditional chemistry nor a biological discipline. Rather, it is an emerging discipline resulting from the intersection of biology and chemistry.
