BioChem

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
you have to understand the basic principles of orgo (esp. nucleophilic attacks and aromaticity). intro bio helps too. there's no general chem in it.
 
Actually, we had some chem 2 concepts in biochem: Kinetics, thermodynamics, and Henderson-Hasselbach.

We had some deltaG=deltaH + deltaS(T) problems...

yep. same here. we needed to know kinetics, the H-H equation, pkas and thermodynamics. all that chem 2 stuff.
 
some to the topics that you will see are:

1) Benzene reactions : for learning the synthesis of benzene derived amino acids such as phenylalanine and tyrosine

2) The Hell-Volhard-Zelinski reaction: again to synthesize amino acids from carboxyl acids

3) Regular organic reactions...such as substiution, addition, hydrolysis, condensation, etc
