This A forensic chemist is a professional chemist who analyses evidence that’s brought in from crime scenes and reaches a conclusion grounded on tests run on that piece of substantiation. A forensic chemist’s job is to identify and characterize the evidence as part of the larger process of solving a crime [1]. Forensic druggists infrequently conduct any investigative work; they handle the evidence collected from the crime scene. Substantiation may include hair samples, makeup chips, glass fractions, or bloodstains. Understanding the substantiation requires tools from numerous disciplines, including chemistry, biology, materials wisdom, and genetics. The frequency of DNA analysis is making knowledge of genetics decreasingly important in this field.
Any forensic science disquisition involving biochemistry can be appertained to as forensic biochemistry. First, forensic wisdom may be defined as the disquisition of crime using scientific ways and methods. These ways are used to examine the materials that were present at a crime scene [2]. Forensic scientists conduct a thorough analysis of all these accoutrements to get suggestions about who may have committed the crime. The investigations girding murder, rape, and assault are largely dependent on the work of forensic wisdom laboratories to point felonious investigators in the right direction. Forensic examinations frequently involve serological and biochemical ways [3]. The biomedical ways used to conduct forensic examinations constitute the field of forensic biochemistry, which has various applications. For case, forensic biochemists may be asked to trace the origin of a particular substance, determine maternity or the relationships that specific people or animals share, or even track the spread of conditions.
Forensic biochemistry has proven to be inestimable in conducting forensic science examinations, particularly the DNA fingerprinting fashion. However, it should be noted that forensic biochemistry must be used with caution, as its findings can have serious implications [4].
The essential tasks of forensic pathology involve investigation of the cause and process of death, especially in traumatic and unexpected unforeseen deaths, largely including witnessed deaths. Thus, atonal and posthumous hindrance is inevitable and unpredictable in all forensic procedures; this isn’t particular to forensic biochemistry, but also occurs in morphology and toxicology. Thus, findings should be assessed grounded on the post-mortem data established through periodical examinations of necropsy accoutrements using fluently accessible standardized procedures. His main purpose of using postmortem biochemistry as well as molecular biology is to probe the systemic pathophysiological changes involved in the death process that cannot generally be detected by morphological styles; these may be called ‘pathophysiological vital responses’. These procedures can give useful support for pathological substantiation by ‘visualization’ of functional alterations, and are also essential for the pathognomonic assessment of both the cause and process of death as part of routine laboratory investigations involved in‘ full autopsy ‘in the environment of social risk operation [5] .
Applications of forensic biochemistry, Some of the ways in which forensic biochemistry is used include, Analysis of evidence plant at a crime scene, using biology, chemistry, physics, and genetics, Qualitative analysis of evidence using spot testing and microscopy, Study of body fluids using separation analyses and optical methods, DNA testing to find out the relations between two humans or animals, Tracing the origin of specific materials or substances using chemical and biochemical techniques.
