    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.
