Study Notes
Biochemistry Basics
- Mathematics is NOT considered a principle area of biochemistry.
- Biochemistry is the study of the chemical processes and transformations that occur within living organisms.
Lipid Structure
- Lipids form a supramolecular structure called a lipid bilayer.
Polymer Formation
- Dehydration synthesis is the process that forms polymers from monomers by releasing water.
Role of Biochemists
- Biochemists isolate, characterize, and synthesize biomolecules, as well as study the chemical reactions and pathways involved in their metabolism.
