This unit includes lectures on organic chemistry and biochemistry. There is an emphasis on basic chemical concepts and how these relate to biological systems. <br/><br/>The lectures on organic chemistry provide an introduction to the properties, reactions and uses of important classes of compounds. The chemistry of biologically important molecules briefly introduces the chemistry of carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, peptides and proteins, nucleosides, nucleotides and nucleic acids. The biochemistry lectures describe the molecular architecture of the cell, with a focus on the way these basic structural components are assembled to form the cell and its organelles. The chemistry and... -- Course Website
