Find an interesting biochemistry website and put its link in this entry, and describe what is found there.

http://www.biology.arizona.edu/biochemistry/biochemistry.html.

This website shows many things in the life of chemistry. It gives you a little background on what is chemistry and talks about molecules where you can learn about their structure and properties, PH levels, acids and bases where you learn the solvent of water. It also shows you energy reactions such as, enzymes, and catalysis where it tells you the key principles of them both. Metabolism is another energy reaction where it shows you the basic and fundamental concepts. Photosynthesis studies the conversion of light energy into different forms of chemical energy.

What knowledge have you connected witht past knowledge?

I have connected many things in biochemistry with my past knowledge. Having the knowledge from science classes I realized that all these courses have something in common that binds them all together. For insistence, saturated and unsaturated fats. Not only in our science courses we hear about these fatty acids but everywhere we go such as, in food we eat, diets, and supermarkets. Saturated fat consists of triglycerides and had all single bonds, it does not have any double bonds. It has a chemical makeup in which the carbon atoms are saturated with hydrogen atoms. Unsaturated fat is a fatty acid in which there is at least one double bond within the fatty acid chain. This fatty acid is made from animal products which lowers LDL cholesterol. Also, there is a hydrogenation process that adds hydrogen's to make double bonds single, making unsaturated fatty acids to saturated.

Find a protein using PDB explorer-describe your protein, including what disease state or other real-world application is has

Amyloid- beta Precusor is a protein that is in Alzheimer disease. It is a large membrane protein that normally plays an essential role in neural growth and repair. It is found on the surface of the cell throughout the human body. However, this form of protein can destroy nerve cells, leading to the loss of thought and memory in Alzheimer's disease. APP plays a role as an intact membrane protein. The intact protein is a receptor protein that sends signals it also binds to many outside cells. There are four pieces of APP, three of  the domains that extend on the outside of the cell and a peptide that crosses the membrane.

What is the biochemistry, and how does it differ from the fields of gentics, biology, chemistry, and molecular biology?

Biochemistry is the study of the structure, composition, and chemical reactions of substances in living systems.

Biochemistry differs from:

• Genetics is the study of heredity of inherited variation that has no type of chemical reactions.

• Biology is also study of living organisms but the difference is that it divides into specialized fields

• Chemistry is the science of matter the difference between them is that biochemistry has to do with the body while chemistry deals with molecules. 
• Molecular biology is study of biology at a molecular level the difference between them is that biochemistry is based more on molecules of life rather then molecular biology is based more on DNA, RNA and protein synthesis.
