Amino acids, the building blocks of life, build into large and complex proteins; it is this aspect of biochemistry that sparked a real interest in this subject. During a recent biochemistry unit I was able to learn more about proteins, their relationship to mRNA and DNA. This created a desire for me to study biochemistry at university. I enjoy reading about new developments in biochemistry and their real-world applications. The addition of protein BsIA to ice cream, for example, causes the droplets
