The field of biochemistry encompasses a large and diverse field of
inquiry. It interfaces both chemistry and biology, as well as psychology, physics,
mathematics, astronomy, bioinformatics, and of course, medicine. Yet,
it's a stand-alone discipline. The contents of these lectures include : What is
Biochemistry?, Themes Throughout the Course, Molecular Components of Life,
Thermodynamics Review, Water, Proteins, Enzymes, Nucleic Acids, Lipids and
Membranes, Carbohydrates, Vitamins and Coenzymes II and Metabolism.
Biochemistry,
as the name implies, is the chemistry of living organisms. It has its origin in
chemistry and biology. It tries to explain life processes at molecular level.
The topics covered in this notes are : Introduction, History of Biochemistry,
Plant Cell and organelles, Proteins, Enzymes, Fatty acids, Isomerism, Nucleic
acids, Lipids, etc.

Biomedical
Chemistry provides readers with an understanding of how fundamental chemical
concepts are used to combat some diseases. Topics covered includes: Chemical
Principles in Drug Design and Discovery, chemical Basis of Drug Action and
Diseases, Strategies to Develop New and Better Drugs.
This book
contains precisely referenced chapters, emphasizing antibacterial agents with
clinical practicality and alternatives to synthetic antibacterial agents through
detailed reviews of diseases and their control using alternative approaches.
This
note explains the equilibrium properties of macroscopic and microscopic systems,
basic thermodynamics, chemical equilibrium of reactions in gas and solution
phase, and macromolecular interactions.

The course note provides students with a
research-inspired laboratory experience that introduces standard biochemical
techniques in the context of investigating a current and exciting research
topic, acquired resistance to the cancer drug Gleevec. Techniques include
protein expression, purification, and gel analysis, PCR, site-directed
mutagenesis, kinase activity assays, and protein structure viewing.
