Carl Neuberg. Carl Alexander Neuberg (29 July 1877 – 30 May 1956) was an early pioneer in biochemistry, and he is often referred to as the "father of modern biochemistry Biochemistry is both life science and a chemical science - it explores the chemistry of living organisms and the molecular basis for the changes occurring in living cells. ... The biochemist seeks to determine how specific molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, vitamins, and hormones function in such processes. Biochemistry is any process that can be related to chemical reactions and living things. For example, The human body and muscles. Biochemistry studies how certain molecules will react to the energy molecule: ATP to make the muscle contract and produce movement
