Biochemistry is the chemistry of carbon compounds that crawl” -Michael Adams. To understand biochemistry, one must possess at least a basic understanding of organic and general chemistry. In this brief section, we will provide a rapid review of the simple concepts necessary to understand cellular chemistry.
Students sometimes view biochemistry as a list of facts or equations to be memorized, rather than a body of concepts to be understood. Details provided to enrich understanding of these concepts inadvertently turn into distractions.

This course is aimed give an understanding about the basics of biochemistry dealing carbohydrates, Amino acids, Lipids, nucleic acid and vitamins. UNIT 1: ...
BCH 201 – GENERAL BIOCHEMISTRY 1 – (3 UNITS) DR AKINLOYE’S ASPECT ENZYMES AND COENZYMES. Introduction The use of enzymes in the diagnosis of disease is one of the important benefits derived from the intensive research in biochemistry since the 1940's. Enzymes have provided the basis for the field of clinical chemistry.
‘Biochemistry’ is different from ''Biology/Chemistry course’’ which is taught in Colleges of Education. 2) Biochemistry (BCH) can also be defined as a science that explains life in molecular terms. --Hence, the Motto of BCH department in most Universities is 'Explaining Life in Molecular Terms'.
In Basic Concepts in Biochemistry, central concepts are developed in a stepwise fashion. The simplest concepts provide a review of what might have been forgotten, and the more complex concepts pre-sent what might not have been realized.
BIOCHEMISTRY & CELL COMPOUNDS For the rest of the chapter, we will look at biologically important molecules that are based around carbon atoms. It is said that life on Earth is "Carbon Based..." Biochemistry is the chemicals of life and their study. Organic chemistry is the study of carbon compounds.
We are glad to present the sixth edition of the Textbook of Biochemistry for Medical Students. With this sixth edition, the textbook is entering the 16th year ...
