The dawn of biochemistry might have been the discovery of the first enzyme, diastase?, in 1833 by [Anselme Payen]?. In 1828, Friedrich Wöhler published a paper about the synthesis of urea, proving that organic compounds can be created artificially, in contrast to the common belief of the time that organic compounds can only be made by living organisms. Since then, biochemistry has advanced, especially since the mid-20th century, with the development of new techniques such as chromatography, [X-ray diffraction]?, [radioisotopic labelling]?, and electron microscopy. These techniques allowed for the discovery and detailed analysis of many molecules and [metabolic pathway]?s of the cell, such as glycolysis and the Krebs cycle. |
