CURRENT COURSE NOTES (Winter 2010)

WEEK 1:   Chemistry Review
                  "Draft 1103 Chemistry Unit" = extra help for those who wish. Some interactive exercises.
                 "Old" Biochemistry Unit
                  Introductory Biochemistry..If you have the Martini text and want some appropriate questions to check your preparedness for Monday's quiz, then check back here later. I will try to update this unit and post it on Sunday evening (likely around 8PM).

Note: the "Old" Biochemistry Unit" was the biochemistry unit up till last year! We have had some problems with the revised unit and will be reviewing it this summer. In the meantime you will find that my notes tend to follow the older unit a bit more closely, so I decided to make it available for extra help. For this week you should concentrate your studies on my notes for the Biochemistry unit and on the manual (especially the Objectives) for the Nutrition unit. Remember, the Chemistry Review was just provided to help those who needed it and it will not be directly tested, and also that for now I have excluded the material on absorption, transport and storage of the organic molecules.
