Course: Biochemistry: the Molecules of Life

In the next of our career-focused films we meet Dr Janneke Balk, a Reader in the School of Biological Sciences at UEA. Her research group is based at the John …

All biochemical reactions involve changes in energy, as a result of the breaking and subsequent formation of chemical bonds. It is the biochemical field of bioenergetics that studies the transformation …

Metabolic pathways provide essential resources and energy that all cells need to be able to grow and divide. The amount of energy obtained from these pathways can vary depending upon …

Current global challenges include issues around global energy security, global food security and global water security. Here, we highlight how research involving biochemistry may be able to help identify solutions …

Here, we provide instructions for an experiment that detects the biochemical activity of catalase peroxidase. To understand the important principles behind this step, it is not essential to do this …

We have heard of a number of significant problems occurring across the world and many of our challenges for the future will be to identify solutions that are sustainable for …

During this week our attention focuses on biochemistry topics linked to cellular metabolism and bioenergetics. In week 1 we already saw about some of the significant biochemists and biochemistry experiments …

Metabolism is central to all cellular life. The video describes the cellular and molecular changes that deliver energy for organisms through different pathways. It highlights two of the most fundamental …

Throughout this course we will see a range of examples of research from biochemistry and the molecular sciences. It is important to recognise that these types of studies require significant …

You may never have realised it, but biochemistry is being applied to address a huge variety of problems on a day to day basis. In this video Jenny and Laura …

This video highlights significant biochemists and experiments that led to important advances in biochemical knowledge. Further information about findings that have been important in biochemistry are available on the Biochemical …

The undertaking of experiments and analysis of resulting data is very important for biochemists. Therefore, a training in biochemistry develops practical-based skills and an appreciation of a range of scientific …
