Hello Everyone! Here is a list of the topics I will be covering for Biochemistry 1! When I took Biochemistry it was a single class however, I feel there is enough information for me to split it into two sections. This is not a definitive list and is more of a guide to keeping me on track.
This is the book I will be working out of:
