This free online biochemistry explains how chemistry and biology work together at a molecular level in living organisms. This course teaches you how biochemistry touches many aspects of our lives. We explore the discipline’s basic concepts before diving into the relevant details of biomolecules and bioenergetics. We highlight specific biochemical processes as our sections on thermodynamics and metabolism focus on delicate balances. We also discuss the applications of medicinal biochemistry and the critical aspects of personalised medicine used in healthcare.
