I'm not expecting much but hey it doesn't hurt to ask does it?
Can anyone tell me of any book or of any source really where I can study these topics?
1. Chemistry of Carbohydrates
a. Definition, classification, and biological importance
b. Monosaccharides: Structure, classification and propterties -- isomerism
c. Stereoisomerism
d. Oligosaccharides: Disaccharides - structure and their importance
e. Polysaccharides: Homo and heteropolysaccharides - structure and their functions
2. Chemistry of Proteins, Amino Acids, and Peptides
a. Proteins: Definition, Classification, and functions
b. Amino Acids: Classification, properties, side chains of amino acids, charge properties
c. Peptides: Biologically important peptides - GSH, insulin and structure
d. Structural Organization, conformation and denaturation
3. Chemistry of Lipids
a. Definition, classification, and biological importance
b. Simple lipids: Triacylglycerol and waxes - Structure and composition
c. Compound lipids: Phospholipids, sphingolipids, glycolipids and their composition and function
d. Derived lipids: Fatty acids - saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, and their properties.
4. Chemistry of Nucleic Acids
a. Definition, biological importance
b. Classification and composition
c. Purine and pyrmidine bases, nucleosides, nucleotides, and biologically important nucleotides
d. DNA: Structure and function
e. RNA: Types of RNA, structure and functions
I basically just typed down what I saw in the syllabus. I'm from Pakistan if the stuff doesn't seem like you've seen it before. They teach ******ed stuff in unbelievably long detail here. All I've got are Indian books [because the Indians learn the stuff as we do], which basically just say 'you've got NO way to understand me. All you can do is memorize memorize and memorize.' Which, I've learned, is almost impossible. I can't memorize every single detail. Anatomy is more than enough for that.
So, I just wanted to ask, if anyone could help. Seemed futile but again I say, it doesn't hurt to ask.
Hope someone can help! Thanks!
P.S. the proper stuff that they teach in America and anywhere abroad actually [metabolism and stuff], that they teach us in second year, using Lippincott's Biochemistry, if anyone's wondering.
