A topic-by-topic breakdown of biochemisty, with videos and quizzes to help you conquer chemistry!
With almost a decade of experience tutoring biochemistry at post-secondary institutions across North America, I have found that the curriculum is similar between many schools (despite the different course codes). This course is an excellent resource for any students taking an undergraduate biochemistry course who are looking for a one-stop shop for understanding the core ideas in biochemistry.
What you’ll learn
- Understand the structure and function of biomolecules that make up DNA, RNA, Proteins, and Cell Membranes.
- Understand how pKa works to accurately predict a proteins charge quickly and effectively.
- Develop a strong understanding of the “graphs” of biochemistry, including binding (Kd’s), enzyme activity (Km/Vmax) and others!.
- Understand the anaerobic and aerobic metabolic pathways for generating ATP, and really learn that the mitochondria is indeed the powerhouse of the cell..

This course is not meant to replace your lecture notes! Your professor makes your test, and their lecture notes should be the “ground source of truth”. However, my videos and problems are designed to help you build a solid foundation quickly so that you can better understand you lecture notes. Students using this course save countless hours of studying to achieve great grades.
This course is built for the UofA BIOCH 200 course, but students at many universities will find the topics covered having massive overlap in your curriculum.
The goal of this course is to provide a cost-effective, topic-by-topic resource that you can use in your own time to learn about material before your professors’ lectures, or to help solidify the concepts after them. For each concept, I will go into detail about the material in video lectures, with a focus on the common mistakes and helpful tips and tricks to ensure you have a solid foundation. The layout of the course is comprehensive, and matches the order of the material typically taught, making this a one-stop shop for your needs as a student!
