Making Past connections

By having previously taken molecular biology and chemistry, I am beginning to make connections between the two I biochemistry. Now we are currently studying replication of DNA in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Most of what we are learning,I learned about in biology but now the details of the processes are be explained further.

Also when you were studying the functions of the amino acids, I remember thinking to myself that I only new their role in DNA translation but now I know their makeup and structure. Biochemistry I believe, is helping me fill in the gaps of subjects I already know about.

Useful Links!

Here is an amazing website called "The Biology Project". It has everything you need to know and review in the sciences. It has its own biochemistry page where you are able to look up and learn about all 20 amino acids. Since the field of study I am going into requires me to memorize all 20, I have been using this site to quiz myself.
