-
Chapter 1: Covers hydrolysis, compartmentation, natural selection, evolution, cell sizes, components, and differences between viruses, prokaryotes, eukaryotes, and archaea. Also includes thermodynamics and units.
-
Chapter 2: Focuses on hydrophobic effects, osmosis, water structure and properties, bonding types (hydrogen, London dispersion, hydrophobic, ionic), pKa, pH values, amphiphiles, ion mobility, and Kw values.
-
Chapter 3: Details amino acids (structure, groupings, pKas, modifications), protein structure, amino acid pairings, chirality, zwitterions, peptide formation, and drugs.
-
Chapter 4: Examines protein structure (alpha-helix, beta-sheets, beta-strands, beta-harpin, disulfides, folding), oligomeric and globular proteins, collagen, Alzheimer's plaques, transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, prions, and 3D protein structural determination.
Module 2
-
Chapter 9: Covers catalysis, enzyme-substrate interactions, lysozymes, serine proteases (steps, tetrahedral intermediate), RNase, enzyme classification, delta-G, transition states, nucleophilicity, and metalloenzymes.
-
Chapter 10: Focuses on Michaelis-Menten kinetics (Km, Kcat, Vmax, Vo), inhibitors (types, plots, Ki), non-covalent modifications, regulation, reaction order, rate of elementary reactions, and ATCase T and R states.
Module 3
-
Chapter 5: Details sugar structures (structures, isomers, polymers), amylopectin, amylose, hyaluronic acid, cellulose, chitin, peptidoglycan, glycosylation, hemiacetals, uronic acid, sialic acid, and peptidoglycans. Also covers artificial sweeteners.
