In the medical study, medical biochemistry plays an irreplaceable role, which is to teach students to perceive life processes as events taking place at the molecular level. The graduate masters the course of biochemical processes, is able to distinguish pathological processes from physiological processes at the level of reactions taking place in the cell. It perceives biochemical reactions in the cell as part of metabolism and understand the regularities of metabolism regulation.
