CHEM 453: Physical Chemistry for Biochemists II

In this exploration, we delve into the fundamental units of various substances, whether they are single atoms, molecules, or formula units. We examine ionic compounds like Rb?O and Fe(NO?)?, characterized by formula units as their basic components, and covalent compounds like N? and N?F?, where molecules are the fundamental units.

Understand gas stoichiometry by exploring the Ideal Gas Law, which integrates key laws like Gay-Lussac's, Charles's, Avogadro's, and Boyle's. Discover how this equation helps determine relationships between gas volumes and moles in reactions.

This discussion explores the importance of the size of protein molecules, highlighting their three-dimensional structures, diverse functions, and the role of large size in enabling structural motifs, functional regions, and stability without revealing specific examples or findings.

This video delves into the fascinating world of energy storage in animals and plants, offering insights into why fats are the primary energy storage compound in animals (except muscles) and why plants opt for alternative strategies instead of using fats and oils.

Explore the distinction between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures. Through real-world examples like baby oil, chocolate chip cookies, and wine, understand their uniformity, phases, and how components are distributed.

Discover the Intricate Checks and Balances in Protein Synthesis Fidelity: Join us in this video to unravel the two critical moments when the accuracy of protein synthesis is assured, shedding light on the 'how' and 'when' of this essential process.
