CHEM4341 (Biochemistry1)

This document goes into the bimolecular makeup of both hemoglobin and myoglobin. It goes over the structural difference of both, and what these differences mean. It goes into binding curves, and their graphical differences and changes. This document shows correspondence, oxygen acceptance, and how these change within different PH, temperatures and the outside environment. It talks about what happens to the O2 binding curve within the lungs versus the tissues.

These notes go into the foundations of biochemistry and the introductions of such. It takes us through the basic foundations of biochemistry, and these foundations will help us build on other chapters.

This document goes over the function of enzymes and the parts that go into enzyme functions. It describes the part of an enzyme like active sites, substrates, products, and the thermodynamic activities between them. It shows what enzymes can and cannot do, and what relationship enzymes have versus a non-enzymatic relationship. It shows the change graphically and what can change, versus what it cannot change and why it can’t

This document goes over the different types of amino acids, their R groups, and the formation and bonds of such. It also goes over the thermodynamic relations and favorability of breaking and forming these bonds. This document also goes into how to find Isoelectric points, and the translations of such.

This document covers water and it being the solvent of life. It helps us understand the hydrophobic effect, how it works in a solution, and the thermodynamic effects behind it. This goes into the Henderson Hasselbach equation, how to calculate the equilibrium constant, and what these contstants and numbers mean or translate to.
