Description:

Biochemistry is the study of the molecular design of life. In this first module, the molecular structure and function of amino acids and proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and nucleic acids will be reviewed. The mechanisms in which metabolic energy is generated and stored will be discussed, and the integration and regulation of these metabolic pathways will be examined.
