Biochemistry notes

These notes cover the basics of enzymes kinetics including: reaction rates, michaelis menten kinetics/enzymes, the lineweaver burk equation, kM and Kcat, Vmax, allosteric enzymes, feedback inhibition, and negative/positive effectors. Allosterics are a very important part of enzyme kinetics and you'll find lots of good information about that in these notes. A mind map is also included to help you better understand how all of the concepts come together,

These notes cover fatty acid degradation/oxidation. They cover odd-chain fatty acids, ketone body formation, and fatty acid metabolism as it relates to diabetes and starvation. There is also a mind map included that summarizes the important parts of the chapter.

These notes cover cholesterol synthesis and cholesterol metabolism by stages. They cover regulation, lipoproteins, receptor mediated endocytosis, and other mechanisms relating to cholesterol. There is also a mind map included to summarize the chapter.

These notes cover the basics of the structure and function of hemoglobin and myoglobin. They cover cooperativity, heme groups, allosteric regulation, and mutations. There is also a mind map included to help you make sense of the important topics and comparing the two globins.

These notes provide an introduction to biochemistry. They cover the four biomolecules, the central dogma of biology, and the importance of membranes. There is a mind map included with additional information that will provide you with a great foundation for starting this course.

These notes give a summary of gluconeogenesis. They cover the important steps, comparisons to glycolysis, and regulation.
