The Chemistry of Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates (also called saccharides) are molecular compounds made from just three elements: carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Monosaccharides (e.g. glucose) and disaccharides (e.g. sucrose) are relatively small molecules. They are often called sugars. Other carbohydrate molecules are very large (polysaccharides such as starch and cellulose). https://youtu.be/8Q4toJyrgKU Carbohydrates are: a source of energy for…
Lipid Metabolism , Steroids and Bile Acid
Lipid metabolism is the synthesis and degradation of lipids in cells, involving the breakdown or storage of fats for energy and the synthesis of structural and functional lipids, such as those involved in the construction of cell membranes. In animals, these fats are obtained from food or are synthesized by the liver. https://youtu.be/NR3w9stsf8E Free…
Bioseparations Engineering
Bioseparations engineering refers to the systematic study of the scientific and engineering principles utilized for large-scale purification of biological products: biopharmaceuticals, biochemicals, foods, nutraceuticals and diagnostic reagents. Bioseparations engineering, both as an academic topic as well as an industrial practice has undergone significant growth and increase in importance in the…
Amino Acids and Proteins
In the human organism, proteins undertake multiple and vital functions. Structural proteins are found in each and every cellular compartment. Intracellularly, motor proteins power the energy-dependent transportation of vesicles. Signal proteins receive and transmit information. Transport and storage proteins bind, for example, oxygen, and carry it to a location where…
Lipid Metabolism
Lipid metabolism is the process by which lipids are synthesized and degraded in cells. In this course, important lipids discussed are bile salts, cholesterols, steroids, and ketone bodies. Also covered in this course are the structures and functions of these types of lipids. The biosynthesis and metabolism of these lipid…
Molecular Biology and Genetics
Molecular biology and genetics study organisms on a cellular and molecular level. This is a rapidly developing field of biological sciences which has many important applications not only in biomedical sciences, but also in other domains such as agriculture. The study of living things at molecular and genetic levels have…
Organic Chemistry
The goal of the lectures is to go beyond memorizing facts. Learn about addition reactions, oxidation, nomenclature and amide formation through high quality video lectures, supported by a myriad of high-yield, interactive quizzes, topic reviews, clinical pearls and mnemonics. This course will cover all of the following, essential concepts of…
