For those not trained in biochemistry but starting to work in this area— here's a course to help you master the essentials
BIOCHEMISTRY AN AUDIO COURSE PRODUCED BY THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY
Now you can develop the sound understanding needed to work and communicate effectively in the dynamic field of biochemistry. With this comprehensive course from ACS, you'll master fundamental concepts and learn about • the structures and functions of the most important classes of biomolecules • the way genetic information is encoded in nucleic acid molecules and used by cells • fifty-five key concepts essential to understanding how living organisms operate at the molecular level • the language and basic terminology used in biochemistry You'll cover all the vital aspects of biochemistry and be able to • knowledgeably communicate with biochemists • understand what is going on in the biochemical research lab • appreciate the significance and value of molecular bioengineering Here's a brief outline of the many important subjects you'll learn about: Proteins: Function, Structure, Properties · Enzymes: Characteristics, Nomenclature, Mechanisms, Kinetics · Nucleotides: Functions, Structure · Generation of ATP: Electron Transport, Oxidative Phosphorylation, Citric Acid Cycle · Carbohydrates: Structure, Function, Glycolysis, Gluconeogenesis the Pentose Phosphate Pathway, Glycogen Metabolism · Photosynthesis: The Light Reactions, Photophosphorylation, The Dark Reaction · Lipids: Structure, Functions, Membranes, Metabolism · Amino Acid and One Carbon Metabolism · Nucleic Acids, Genes, Chromosomes: Structure and Functions of DNA and RNA; Organization of the Genome; Genetic Code · Protein Synthesis: Ribosomes, Initiation, Elongation, Termination, Processing · RNA Synthesis: Initiation, Elongation, Termination, Processing · DNA Replication and Repair: Initiation, Elongation, Maturation · Regulation of Gene Expression: Transcriptional Regulation, Regulation at Translatjonal Level · Genetic Engineering: Formation of Recombinant DNA; Amplification and Expression of Recombinant DNA, Gene Transfer
