Biochemical Engineering is one of the pillar industries of the 21st century and is the interdiscipline of biology, chemistry and engineering, being the general term of biochemical engineering and bio-processing engineering as well as being a branch of biotechnology. It is also one of the frontiers of chemical engineering disciplines and is the means for the conversion of biological technology into productivity, industrialization and commercialization. Biochemical Engineering products are products with animals, plants, microorganisms as raw materials and processing through approaches of biochemical engineering, physics and chemistry. It is widely applied to various kinds of fields including medicine, food, feed, basic organic chemicals, organic acids and bio-pesticides.

Jun 27,2022 Biochemical EngineeringBradykinin
Bradykinin (BK) is a short-lived, potent vasodilating peptide hormone that is highly involved in inflammation and edema formation. It is the major active hormone in the kallikrein-kinin system (KKS).
Jun 27,2022 Biochemical EngineeringApplication and Pharmacology of Cytidine
Cytidine is a pyrimidine nucleoside comprised of a cytosine bound to ribose via a beta-N1 glycosidic bond. Cytidine is a precursor for uridine. Both cytidine and uridine are utilized in RNA synthesis.
