Aim
This tutorial which is mainly concerned with the general overview of biochemistry aimed at chemists, who have the essential chemical knowledge, but perhaps lack the fundamentals of biochemistry. Hence this tutorial will be aimed primarily at protein structure and function.
Introduction
Biochemistry enables on to discover the molecular basis of life, as major chemical processes are now understood, such as the structure of DNA, the blue print of life. Also important is that the most important patterns and principles are the key to the diversity of life, an example being that organisms such as E-coli, use the building blocks as humans do in building large macromolecules, and the energy ATP, is the universal energy currency of all major living biological species.
