Transaminases and Nitrogen Transfers

Learn the basics about making alcohols by fermentation and from ethene, as part of organic chemistry.

Cholesterol biosynthesis is divided into 4 general stages. This video diagrams stage 3 in which IPP and DMAP (two isoprenoids) are built into squalene with subsequent epoxidation and cyclization to lanosterol.

It is important to get your chemistry formula right. This revision video by Chris Raynerd will help you understand the basics of Organic Molecules.

The video talks about hydrocarbons, which are compounds containing only hydrogen and carbon, and the different structures they can form. The properties of hydrocarbons are discussed, including boiling point, volatility, viscosity, and...
