Biochemistry

Dive into a comprehensive biochemistry playlist covering nutrition, metabolism, and general health. Learn about the large biomolecules that drive cellular functions, including proteins, carbohydrates, and DNA. Gain the knowledge to critically evaluate medical claims and diet trends. Begin with an introduction to biochemistry, then explore amino acids, protein structure, enzymes, carbohydrates, lipids, cell membranes, receptors, nucleic acids, DNA replication, transcription, translation, metabolism, cellular respiration, photosynthesis, cell communication, cancer, and drug mechanisms. Conclude with a unique look at DNA visualization in virtual reality. Prior knowledge of general and organic chemistry is recommended, with essential preparatory tutorials listed in the first video.
