Biochemistry Defining Life at the Molecular Level

Overview & Synopsis

Deeply based on Western Oregon University, this online resource
explains foundational concepts of biochemistry such as protein structure, DNA,
RNA, and the human genome in depth. The paper goes on to elucidate enzyme
principles and catalytic mechanisms and regulatory aspects of proteins. The text
then discusses DNA replication, transcription, RNA processing, and mechanisms of
DNA repair and transcriptional control. In this chapter, the reader will achieve
a broad overview which, for students, will empower them with a good basis of
biochemical principles that underpin life at the molecular level; it forms a
very important background study for students pursuing biochemistry and related
disciplines.
