Pages: 2Discussion of eukaryotic gene expression via transcriptional regulation, epigenetic regulation, and the proteins and DNA involved in the process. -
Pages: 2Discussion on the elongation and termination stages in translation in prokaryotes followed by the comparison of the differences between the process of translation in prokaryotes versus eukaryotes. -
Pages: 6Discussion on the differences between codons and anticodons as well as the process of translation to synthesize proteins. -
Pages: 3Discussion of the differences between transcription in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Specifically, the modifications required for the mRNA made in eukaryotes. -
Pages: 4Discussion on the idea of one gene one enzyme and the experiments that lead to this idea. Also, discussion on the steps in transcription and the molecules involved. -
Pages: 5The main focus is on DNA including discussion about its structure, the importance of its function, and the main steps required in synthesizing and maintaining DNA. -
Pages: 2Continue the discussion of the function of telomerase followed by the description of how PCR works. -
Pages: 5Discussion of the three main steps of DNA replication and the molecules that are involved in each step. Also, discuss the importance of and properties of telomerase. -
Pages: 4Discussion and how DNA replicates itself and which enzyme plays different roles in this process. It also addresses the Meselson and Stahl experiment and discovery. -
Pages: 3Discussion on how Sanger developed a method to regenerate the complementary strand of DNA. Introduction to Southern Blotting. -
Pages: 2Discussion the various types of DNA, specifically cruciform DNA, and how gel electrophoresis works to separate bands of DNA cu by restriction enzymes. -
Pages: 7Discussion on the different types of RNA and what makes DNA and RNA different. Also explaining important experiments done that led to the discovering of DNA as a transforming factor. -
Pages: 4Discussion on the components that make up DNA and its different variations. Also addresses it different properties. -
Pages: 5Discussion on the different components that make up nucleotides and the different types of nucleotides that can be formed. -
Pages: 5Discussion on the various ways enzyme activity is increased, decreased, and regulated. -
Pages: 3Discussion on how to use Vmax and Km as well as the comparison of the Michaelis-Menton Equation and Lineweaver-Burk equation. -
Pages: 5Review on the topics of amino acids structures, protein folding and functions, and enzymes -
Pages: 3Discussion of what enzymes are and how they work. The differentiation between the six major classes of enzymes. -
Pages: 3Discussion on the differences in structure, functions, and properties of fibrous and globular proteins. More specifically, examine the differences between the globular proteins of myoglobin and hemoglobin. -
Pages: 5Discussion on how the protein folds into secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures with the help of molecular chaperones. Also, the break down of how proteins are denatured and degraded. -
Pages: 3Discussion of the different levels of protein structure and how the proteins are shaped in different angles. -
Pages: 3Distinguish between various types of amino acids, such as essential and non-essential, and becoming familiar with non-standarad amino acids and their functions. -
Pages: 2Description of how to use the pH and pK values of nonpolar, acidic, and basic amino acids to find their isoelectric points (pI values). -
Pages: 3The interaction between weak acids and their conjugate bases, and the structures of amino acids. -
Pages: 5Examples of practice problems and answers for molarity, osmotic pressure, and pH calculations.
