These notes cover amino acids and proteins in depth. They cover polar and nonpolar effects of amino acids proteins in three-dimensional structure, how shape determines function, protein structure, and protein folding. There are two mind maps included that are there to help you make sense of the concepts and how they relate with one another.

These notes cover Fatty Acid synthesis in depth by stage. They also cover fatty acid synthesis regulation and the enzymes that are necessary in completing it (ie. acetyl CoA carboxylase II). There is also a mind map included to summarize the important parts of the chapter.

These notes cover water and buffers. They cover how weak bonds allow transient interactions, brownian motion, Coulomb's Law, hydrogen bonding, van der waals interactions, and effects of pH for buffers. There is a mind map included to help you connect the concepts of this chapter that also explains the differences in respiratory/metabolic acidosis/alkalosis.

These notes do not cover specifics on enzyme kinetics, but rather the basic concepts of enzymes and enzyme action. They cover the types of enzymes, cofactors needed for activity, Gibbs free energy, the importance of the transition state, binding energy, and transition state analogs. There is also a mind map included to help you make sense of the concepts.
