Goals of studying biochemistry 1. To introduce the language of biochemistry, with careful explanations of the meaning, origin, and significance of terms. 2. To provide a balanced understanding of the physical, chemical, and biological context in which each biomolecule, reaction, and pathway operates. 3. To project a clear and repeated emphasis on major themes, especially those relating to evolution, thermodynamics, regulation, and the relationship between structure and function.Goals of Studying Biochemistry 1.
