Course Description
Overview
Dive into a comprehensive 2.5-hour video tutorial covering essential biochemistry topics. Explore protein structure, including primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary levels, and review macromolecules. Examine photosynthesis, focusing on light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle. Study various lipids, including fatty acids, triglycerides, phospholipids, terpenes, waxes, and eicosanoids. Learn about amino acids, their isoelectric points, and zwitterions. Investigate key metabolic processes such as the Krebs cycle, electron transport chain, ATP synthase, chemiosmosis, and oxidative phosphorylation. Compare aerobic and anaerobic respiration, including lactic acid and ethanol fermentation. Conclude with an exploration of hydrolysis and dehydration synthesis reactions.
