生物化學研究所成立於 六十一年，現(xiàn)於南港院區(qū)和國立 大學校總區(qū)各有一座研究大樓，創(chuàng)所至今一直與國立 大學理學院生化科學研究所進行建教合作，共享教學和研究資源，合作無間，相得益彰。
現(xiàn)在參與的研究人員包括研究員、副研究員、助研究員、博士后研究學者、研究助理、碩士班和博士班研究生等共約215人，此外尚有技術和行政等支援人員共16人。生化所現(xiàn)擁有各研究領域所需的儀器，研究人員也專精於各項技術，諸如蛋白質(zhì)和核酸的微量分析與定序、核酸、勝月太及醣類之合成、質(zhì)譜和核磁共振之分析、蛋白質(zhì)及核酸晶體解析、蛋白質(zhì)體及功能基因體探討等。研究方向生化所繼續(xù)以往在蛋白質(zhì)化學、生物物理和分子及細胞生物學的優(yōu)厚基礎，探討基因和蛋白質(zhì)之間的交互作用、各種酵素、毒蛇蛇毒、動物生殖的相關蛋白質(zhì)和賀爾蒙等特殊主題。同時，生化所持續(xù)地評估新的研究方向和領域，期使能對本院在功能基因體學及 生物技術研究計畫的整體努力有所貢獻。生化所研究人員目前的研究領域包含生殖相關的荷爾蒙研究、細菌及動植物組織之酵素、有機合成相關酵素、毒蛇毒素及其細胞膜蛋白受體、生殖系統(tǒng)相關蛋白質(zhì)、眼球水晶體蛋白及轉錄因子等。上述研究領域皆使用分子生物及細胞學方法以探討其生物物理及生物化學上的相關特性。生化所自 八十五年搬遷到目前新址后，設立新的分子及細胞醣生物學的研究室，以期對於醣蛋白及醣聚合體的結構功能與生合成有進一步的了解。特別值得注意的是面對后基因體時代新的研究挑戰(zhàn)，生化所將上述分歧的研究領域整合成以下五個主要的核心研究方向： (1)生殖及受體生化學(2)蛋白質(zhì)及生物有機化學(3) 醣質(zhì)生物學(4) 基因調(diào)控(5) 結構生物學及分子生物物理學在這些研究領域中，生化所的目標在於追求研究的高品質(zhì)與優(yōu)越性，并強調(diào)所內(nèi)研究主持人員的計畫合作及提升。重要研究成果生化所研究人員積極參與國內(nèi)外的各種學術活動，也參與各種國際學術刊物，例如 Journal of Biological Chemistry, European Journal of Biochemistry, Glycobiology, BBA, Analytical Biochemistry, 以及Biology of Reproduction等的編輯與審稿。除了國內(nèi)大學的教學工作，生化所的研究人員也應邀擔任國與內(nèi)外學術研討會的專題演講，并參加國家科學委員會與國家衛(wèi)生研究院研究計畫的審查和視察等。 八十九年至九十年間，生化所研究人員於國際期刊共發(fā)表105篇高品質(zhì)的論文。--------------Biochemistry Institute was established in 1972, South at National Taiwan University Hospital and the school district have a research building since its founding has been with the National Taiwan University School of Biochemical Science Institute offers Sharing teaching and research resources and co-operatively with each other. Now involved in the study included researchers, research fellow and assistant research fellows and post-doctoral researchers, research assistants, master's and doctoral graduate students for a total of about 215 people, in addition to any other technical and administrative support staff of 16 people. Biochemical studies have now has all the necessary equipment, researchers are also specialized technical, Trace analysis, such as protein and nucleic acid sequencing, nucleic acid, and carbohydrate synthesis Katsuki too, mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance analysis. Crystal protein and nucleic acid analysis, protein bodies and other functional genomic study. Protein biochemistry research in the past has continued to chemistry, cell biology and molecular biophysics and of the liberal base explore the interaction between genes and proteins, various enzymes, snakes, venom, Animal reproductive hormone-related protein and special themes. Meanwhile, biochemical studies are continuing to assess new directions and areas, so that the hospital can learn in the functional genomics and biotechnology research in Taiwan to contribute to the overall effort. Biochemical studies currently includes areas of study related to the reproductive hormones, bacteria and animal and plant tissue enzyme, organic synthesis related enzymes, and membrane protein poisonous snake toxin receptor-related protein reproductive system. ocular lens protein and transcription factor. The study area cytology and molecular biology methods were used to investigate the biophysical and biochemical characteristics. Biochemical has since relocated to the new site in 1996 after the establishment of a new sugar molecular and cell biology research. For sugar to the structure and function of proteins and sugar polymer synthesis and students have a better understanding. Particularly noteworthy is the face of the new challenges after the genome era, these biochemical differences are five main areas of research are integrated into the core of research : (1) reproductive health and chemical receptor (2) protein and Bioorganic Chemistry (3) Sugar biology (4) gene regulation ( 5) structural biology and molecular biophysics research in these fields, Biochemical studies have pursued the goal of high quality and superiority. It also stressed that the presiding officer of the plan to study and enhance cooperation. Biochemical studies of important research achievements at home and abroad to actively participate in various academic activities, also participated in various international academic journals. For example, Journal of Biological Chemistry. European Journal of Biochemistry. Glycobiology, Bush Boake Allen, Analytical Biochemistry. Biology of Reproduction, and the other editors and peer review. In addition to university teaching, Biochemical studies have also been invited to the symposium with a keynote speech outside. and the National Science Council and the National Health Research Institute to participate in research on the review and inspections. In the year 2000 to 2001, as biochemical researchers published 105 articles in international journals of high-quality papers.
