Biochemistry and Molecular Biology: How Life Works

Taught by Professor Kevin Ahern of Oregon State University, this series covers the essential topics of a first-semester college course in biochemistry and molecular biology, introducing you to amino acids, proteins, enzymes, genes, and the intricate workings of living cells. A background in high school-level chemistry is helpful.

Biochemistry Is the Science of Us

Get started on the subjects that Professor Ahern calls “the science of us”: biochemistry and its allied field molecular biology, which both tell us who we are. Discover the handful of elements involved in biochemical reactions; the bonds they form; and the wide array of molecules that result, including amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins.
