Biochemistry 2 Topics

Hello Everyone! Here is a list of the topics I will be covering for Biochemistry 2! 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 keep me on track.


This is the book I will be working out of:


Principles of Metabolic Regulation

- Regulation of Metabolic Pathways

- Analysis of Metabolic Control

- Coordination of Glycolysis and Gluconeogenesis

- Metabolism of Glycogen

- Coordination of Glycogen Synthesis and Breakdown


The Citric Acid Cycle

- Production of Acetyl-CoA

- Reactions of the Citric Acid Cycle

- Regulation of the Citric Acid Cycle

- The Glyoxylate Cycle


Fatty Acid Catabolism

- Digestion, Mobilization, and Transport of Fats

- Oxidation of Fatty Acids

- Ketone Bodies


Amino Acid Oxidation and the Production of Urea

- Metabolic Fates of Amino Groups

- Nitrogen Excretion

- Urea Cycle

- Amino Acid Degradation


Oxidative Phosphorylation and Photophosphorylation

- Electron Transport Chain

- ATP Synthesis

- Regulation of Oxidative Phosphorylation

- Thermogenesis

- Steroid Synthesis

- Apoptosis

- Mitochondrial DNA

- Photosynthesis


Carbohydrate Biosynthesis in Plants and Bacteria

- Photosynthetic Carbohydrate Synthesis

- photorespiration

- biosynthesis of starch and sucrose

- Cell wall synthesis


Lipid Biosynthesis

- Triacylglycerols

- Synthesis of Membrane Phospholipids

- Cholesterol

- Steroids

- Isoprenoids


Biosynthesis of Amino Acids, Nucleotides, and Related Molecules

- Nitrogen Metabolism

- Synthesis of Amino Acids

- Molecules Derived from Amino Acids

- Synthesis and Degradation of Nucleotides


Hormonal Regulation and Integration of Mammalial Metabolism

- Hormonal Regulation

- Obesity and Regulation of Body Mass

-Type 2 Diabetes

- Metabolic Syndrome


Genes and Chromosomes

- Chromosomal Elements

- DNA supercoiling

- Structure of Chromosomes


DNA Metabolism

- DNA Replication

- DNA Repair

- DNA Recombination


RNA Metabolism

- DNA-Dependent Synthesis of RNA - RNA processing

- RNA-Dependent Synthesis of RNA and DNA

Protein Metabolism
