Medical Chemistry Presentation: Biological Processes and Structures

This presentation covers several key topics in medical chemistry, beginning with lactose intolerance, its causes, and symptoms. It then delves into the structure and formation of peptide bonds, explaining their role in protein structure. The presentation also examines the structure and function of mRNA, highlighting its importance in protein synthesis. Further topics include enzyme allosteric control in metabolic pathways, the advantages of the Lineweaver-Burk plot for enzyme kinetics analysis, and the stages of catabolism. The formation of the 3D structure of the DNA double helix is described, followed by an explanation of enzyme regulation in the glycolysis pathway. Finally, the presentation concludes with a comparison of gene expression in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, highlighting their similarities and differences. Each topic is presented with the aid of illustrations and explanations, providing a comprehensive overview of these fundamental concepts.
