The field of biochemistry encompasses a large and diverse field of
inquiry. It interfaces both chemistry and biology, as well as psychology, physics,
mathematics, astronomy, bioinformatics, and of course, medicine. Yet,
it's a stand-alone discipline. The contents of these lectures include : What is
Biochemistry?, Themes Throughout the Course, Molecular Components of Life,
Thermodynamics Review, Water, Proteins, Enzymes, Nucleic Acids, Lipids and
Membranes, Carbohydrates, Vitamins and Coenzymes II and Metabolism.

The
electronic format of Biochemistry Free For All allows us to provide multimedia
to help students learn the subject. If you are not familiar with our previous
efforts, you will probably see humor as another unconventional component of the
structure of this book. Authors believe in keeping things light, fun, and
informative. As certified some might say, certifiable biochemistry nerds and
unrepentant lovers of corny jokes, authors firmly believe that students can have
fun while learning the subject. Toward this end, we have sprinkled each chapter
with rhymes and songs that Authors hope will have you learning biochemistry
happily.
