Fundamentals of Biochemistry III - Information Pathways
Henry Jakubowski and Patricia Flatt · LibreTexts
We explore the biochemistry of informational macromolecules (DNA, RNA, and proteins), key players in the Central Dogma of Biology. We use molecular models to facilitate an understanding of structure/function relations. In addition, we explore reaction mechanisms for converting the information in DNA into RNA and then into proteins. This material is usually studied in molecular biology courses.

Fundamentals of Biochemistry IV - Special Topics
Henry Jakubowski and Patricia Flatt · LibreTexts
In Volume V, we present two types of assessments for use by instructors and students. Literature-based Guided Assessments (LGAs) contain problems derived from the research literature. They are designed to help students read and understand the chosen research paper. The questions in the LGAs integrate many areas of biochemistry represented across many chapters in a biochemistry textbook. Molecular modeling tutorials and problems are provided to help students create their own, web-based molecu

Introduction to Organic and Biological Chemistry
Divan Fard · Shasta College
Introduction to Organic and Biological Chemistry is an open educational resource designed to make high-quality chemistry education freely accessible to all students. This textbook bridges organic chemistry and biochemistry with clear explanations, biological relevance, and practical applications for health and life science learners. As a Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) resource, it advances equity, affordability, and student success in STEM education.

Science of Food
Trisha Russell · Whitworth University
Food Science is a multi-disciplinary field involving chemistry, biochemistry, nutrition, microbiology and engineering to give one the scientific knowledge to solve real problems associated with the many facets of the food system. The basis of the discipline lies in an understanding of the chemistry of food components, such as proteins, carbohydrates, fats and water and the reactions they undergo during processing and storage.

Bioinorganic Chemistry
Ivano Bertini, Harry B. Gray, Stephen J. Lippard, and Joan Selverstone Valentine · LibreTexts
This text covers material that could be included in a one-quarter or one-semester course in bioinorganic chemistry for graduate students and advanced undergraduate students in chemistry or biochemistry. The authors believe that such a course should provide students with the background required to follow the research literature in the field. The topics were chosen to represent those areas of bioinorganic chemistry that are mature enough for textbook presentation.

Biophysical Chemistry
Serge L. Smirnov and James McCarty · Western Washington University
We wrote this text to serve as the primary source for a series of Biophysical Chemistry courses that we regularly teach as faculty members of the Chemistry Department at Western Washington University, which serve the needs of undergraduate Biochemistry program. The present text is based on the assumption of what WWU Biochemistry majors know and do not know at the time they enter their final year of study toward Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry.
