Objectives: 1. To introduce biological macromolecules. 2. To understand the structure of protein molecules and how protein structure determines protein function. 3. To introduce the thermodynamics of chemical reactions and show how enzymes enable these reactions to proceed. 4. To understand how the structure of an enzyme molecule determines its catalytic function. 5. To understand the different mechanisms for the control of enzyme activity and the importance of these control mechanism in ce...

Objectives of the lectures 1. To give an overview of diabetes, a very common disease that manifests itself in abnormalities of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. 2. To illustrate how the study of biology at a molecular level is fundamental to understanding the causes, symptoms, diagnosis and effective treatment of disease. 3. To provide an overview of the main topics covered in the first term's lectures, and to introduce some terminology, within the context of diabetes.

Cell division understanding Cell cycle process and pathways

Exercise is an everyday stress that the cardiovascular system must cope with. From an evolutionary standpoint the ability to run away from a predator or catch a prey is of utmost importance. There are two cardiovascular responses to exercise: local and systemic

Neuronal action potentials are propagated using local circuit currents which depend on the length and time constant to determine their speed. Also chemical synapses use neurotransmitters to bind to post-synaptic membrane ionotropic and metabotropic receptors to produce EPSPs and/or IPSPS that summate to a post-synaptic potential that may cause an action potential if the depolarization at the axon hillock reaches the threshold.

Comprehensive notes for assessing the impact of stigma in chronic illness

This are some notes put together to help me revise for my biochemistry exam.

Contains in depth yet concise notes, including up-to-date NICE guidance and clinical pathology. Notes have earned me top decile in exams & are on background of being awarded the Cambridge University Neuroscience Prize.
