Study Notes

Biochemistry Overview

Biochemistry primarily focuses on the chemical processes and substances that occur within living organisms.
It combines principles of biology and chemistry to understand cellular functions and interactions.

Elemental Composition of Cells

Studying the elemental composition of cells helps identify key elements (like carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen) crucial for biochemical processes.
Understanding cell composition aids in exploring metabolic pathways and functioning of biomolecules.

Major Biological Macromolecules

Major biological macromolecules include carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.
Substances that do not fall under these categories are not considered major biological macromolecules.

pH and Biomolecules

pH significantly affects the structure and function of biomolecules by influencing their charge and solubility.
Changes in pH can denature proteins, altering their function and affecting enzymatic activity.

Biochemistry Study Resources

Recommended resources for studying biochemistry include foundational textbooks, scientific journals, and reputable online platforms.
It’s important to distinguish between reliable sources and those that lack credibility or depth in biochemistry.
