BIOCHEM 2EE3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Cell Nucleus, Glycerol, Khonsu
Document Summary
Biochemistry is a set of tools, or technical skills, that lend themselves to many diverse scientific. Of which are related to the study of biomedical research. Not enough to create life as we know it today. Primarily composed of c, h, n, o, p and s. Interplay between h, c and o defines life. C is the star of the show (most important in biological processes) whereas h and o are th background dancers. Contains silicon and aluminum tific fields e the. The polymerization reaction is a cond reaction, a water molecule is removed. Monomers join to make a polymer (macromolecules/complex molecules) Therefore both rna and dna are thought of as negative molecules. 1" carbon has a nitrogenous base - in dna - acgt. At the 2" carbon dna has an h. At the 2" carbon rna has an oh. The nucleic acids are joined by the 3" carbon of one nucleotide and 5" phosphate of the n nucleotide.
