Biochemistry and molecular biology
Biochemistry, sometimes called biological chemistry, is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms. Molecular biology concerns the molecular basis of biological activity between the various systems of a cell, including the interactions between DNA, RNA and proteins and their biosynthesis, as well as the regulation of these interactions.

Unclear guidelines prevent adequate protection of forest streams
To diminish the negative impacts of tree felling, a protected corridor in the riparian zone is recommended in many countries. But the guidelines are too vague and unclear to achieve the desired
