Nutritional Biochemistry in Human Health

This special issue belongs to the section “Chemical Biology“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The science of nutrition is becoming more and more vital to our understanding of almost all metabolic processes. Today, we see the impact of nutrients and foods on both physical and mental health; therefore, studies have emerged indicating the strong connections between our diet, gut health/the individual microbiome, and various diseases. The biological concepts can compromise our vision into the mechanisms by which diet influences our health and disease. To this extent, reinforcing the biochemistry of nutrition is essential to broaden our understanding of several aspects of human biology including cellular and molecular biology, physiology and medicinal chemistry. The biochemistry of nutrition is a multidisciplinary scientific area, including biology, chemistry, and physics, to a greater extent to cell metabolism, cell functioning, macronutrients, mental health illnesses and neurodevelopmental disorders, and other factors that contribute to the interplay between nutrients and disease.
