Document Summary

The application of chemistry to the bio of our body. Allows us to understand why a tissue acts the way it does - how does the cell perform its function in a specific tissue. Dogma is an established belief or doctrine: it is authoritative and not to be disputed, doubted or diverged from. Chromatin has a very important role in the expression of dna. Little pieces of rna that will bind to the sense strand and block transcription. Mods with phosphate, acetyl, methyl groups attached to pns to regulate availability of pns for its function. Therefore, defects in dna can lead to defects in pns lead to problems. Genotype vs. phenotype: can you have an 8-pack. Amino group, carboxyl group, hydrogen, and -r group. Since 4 different groups are attached to a carbon atom, stereoisomerism is possible. They have a net charge derived from the ionization of weakly acidic or basic groups.
