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.
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.
This is a PDF
designed by the College of Agriculture, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad, Department of
Biochemistry: It serves as an elementary source in understanding the chemistry
of living organisms as it covers major foundational topics like a history of
biochemistry, plant cell structures, organelles, proteins, enzymes, fatty acids,
and nucleic acids. By explaining life processes at a molecular level, it equips
students with the required knowledge that will make them able to understand
interactions at levels which govern biological systems. The material is tailored
for the student studying biochemistry; therefore, it gives a comprehensive
overview of the respective concepts and their significances in agriculture and
biology.

This PDF by K.K. Wagh Agricultural College, Nashik, has
focused the most critical topics in biochemistry related to the structure and
function of organelles in a plant cell, biomolecules, carbohydrates, nucleic
acids, and lipids. It includes discussion topics like proteins, amino acids, and
biochemical energetics related to the functions of living organisms. Developing
the molecular constituents considered significant for life, these notes have
been prepared as a basic text that will help increase the understanding of
biochemical processes together with their applications in agriculture and
biological sciences.
