Introduction to Biochemistry

Biochemistry is the study of chemical processes in living organisms, including, but not limited to, living matter. Biochemistry governs all living organisms and living processes. By controlling information flow through biochemical signaling and the flow of chemical energy through metabolism, biochemical processes give rise to the incredible complexity of life.

Biochemistry is closely related to molecular biology, the study of the molecular mechanisms by which genetic information encoded in DNA is able to result in the processes of life. Depending on the exact definition of the terms used, molecular biology can be thought of as a branch of biochemistry, or biochemistry as a tool with which to investigate and study molecular biology.

1.       Recall the elements that are most abundant in living organisms.
2.       Describe the unique properties of carbon that make it the backbone of many of the molecules of life.
3.       Explain how the atoms involved in a bond contribute to the geometry, strength, and electron density of that bond.
4.       Describe the difference between conformation and configuration.
5.       Identify the chiral carbons in a given molecule.
6.       Classify an organism as a phototroph, chemotroph, autotroph or heterotroph based on its source    of energy and source of carbon to build organic molecules.
7.       Define the terms Gibbs free energy, entropy, and enthalpy
8.       Predict the direction of a reaction given the free energy, or the entropy and enthalpy parameters of the reaction.
9.       Predict the direction of a reaction given an equilibrium constant and the initial concentrations of the substance and product of the reaction.
10.   Calculate free energy of a reaction at the standard condition given its equilibrium constant and temperature.
