Biochemistry is the language of biology. The study of biochemistry is essential to understand basic functions of the body. And biological and bioorganic chemistry are like introduction to biochemistry.
Bioorganic chemistry is a rapidly growing scientific discipline that combines organic chemistry and biological chemistry. It is that branch of life science that deals with the study of biological processes using chemical methods. Protein and enzyme function are examples of these processes.
Sometimes biochemistry is used interchangeably for bioorganic chemistry; the distinction being that bioorganic chemistry is organic chemistry that is focused on the biological aspects. While biochemistry aims at understanding biological processes using chemistry, bioorganic chemistry attempts to expand organic-chemical researches (that is, structures, synthesis, and kinetics) toward biology. When investigating metalloenzymes and cofactors, bioorganic chemistry overlaps bioinorganic chemistry.
