Deeply based on Western Oregon University, this online resource
explains foundational concepts of biochemistry such as protein structure, DNA,
RNA, and the human genome in depth. The paper goes on to elucidate enzyme
principles and catalytic mechanisms and regulatory aspects of proteins. The text
then discusses DNA replication, transcription, RNA processing, and mechanisms of
DNA repair and transcriptional control. In this chapter, the reader will achieve
a broad overview which, for students, will empower them with a good basis of
biochemical principles that underpin life at the molecular level; it forms a
very important background study for students pursuing biochemistry and related
disciplines.
This extensive
PDF by Charles University addresses pertinent questions with regard to clinical
biochemistry, covering the influence of pre-analytical factors on the situation
within laboratory examinations and the determination of reference values. It
comprises analytical properties, quality control, and diagnostic sensitivity in
a broad range of tests-from kidney function to plasma proteins and assays for
electrolytes. The book deals with the metabolic functions of calcium,
phosphorus, magnesium, and trace elements and emphasizes thyroid and adrenal
hormones. Additional topics discussed include acid-base disorders, lipids in
blood serum, and their significance for atherosclerosis and free radicals.
Authored by Rodrigo Valenzuela Baez, this book gives a general
view of contemporary research related to lipid metabolism. All international
authors' contributions are collected to discuss the latest findings and trends
in lipid biology. The text discusses various topics concerning the metabolic
pathways, regulatory mechanisms, and implications of lipid biology for health
and disease. Opening new avenues of research as well as encouraging new ways of
understanding lipid function and metabolism, it is indeed a treasure trove for
the researcher and student seeking to pursue in-depth knowledge of lipid
biochemistry.
This Boston University course teaches biochemical concepts online,
covering the fundamentals of chemistry, biology, and related disciplines. Key
areas include major molecular components of life, thermodynamics, proteins,
enzymes, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates. The course also elucidates
the functions of vitamins and coenzymes in metabolism. It interlinks various
scientific fields with biochemical principles and their applications in medicine
and research. Thus, this makes it an important resource for those aspiring to be
professional biochemists.
