Principles of Polymer Chemistry: Monomers, Polymers, And Macromolecules An Overview (Lect 1)

Principles of Polymer Chemistry: Monomers, Polymers, And Macromolecules An Overview (Lect 1) Polymers are very interesting materials. Although polymers are one of the building blocks of life on Earth, we only recently understood their nature. The origin of the word “polymer” comes from the Greek word “polymeros,” which means “many parts.” Polymers are formed by linking small monomers, from the…

It's been a hot minute (read: 2017) since I took my last biochem class so apologies if some of these things are dated but hopefully some of these resources will be helpful:

Handwritten Tutorials on Youtube or its own site via the Wayback Machine

I was taught via the classic Lehninger text (which I gave away to a brother, so sorry that I can't reference it but it woulda been outdated anyhow). Molecular Biology of the Cell/Essential Cell Biology are also good supplemental texts if you're like me and banging your head against the wall asking like "but WHY does it work like that?"

Also if your prof allows it, I recommend recording audio of lectures (if they aren't already recorded) and playing them back. It might seem silly to play lecture audios while cooking or whatever, but it does help imo.

LearnChemE appears to have videos on thermodynamics, since that tends to be the topic a lot of people dread.

Cutesy read, manga I was recommended.

Reddit threads like this one can help you find more recent + lesser-known resources as well, e.g.:

Khan Academy

Crash Course

Picmonic

If your prof isn't making sense, you can also sleuth other texts and see if they click better for you as a learner.

Also if the math is breaking you: get your hands on as many problems to practice on as you possibly can. If the various cycles and pathways are breaking you, draw them out, review. Draw again, and again. I actually got a whiteboard + a bunch of those clear plastic things you can write wet erase or dry erase markers on and used those to survive both difficult courses and my health professions program. Mixing up definitions for what is what? Anki flashcards or quizlet (although the latter is less helpful as a site these days imo).

Good luck!

what is the worst subject and why is it biochem ?

Some Helpful Academic Links!

I saw a post sharing academic resources, and can't find it now, so I'm starting my own.

Not that I'm condoning pirating, but library genesis.

Math

Integral calculator - With steps not behind a paywall

PatrickJMT - His YouTube videos have gotten me through calculus and differential equations.

3Blue1Brown Essence of Linear Algebra - Really smooth animations and a good conceptual understanding for linear algebra. Highly recommend!

Chemistry

Huge sheet of gas constants and their units

Spectral Database for Organic Compounds - I mostly use it to compare HNMR spectra and give me an idea of which peaks correspond to which parts of the molecule. But there's also CNMR and IR spectra (and a whole host of others).

NMR Predictor - This makes predictions for where HNMR peaks fall and their corresponding location on the molecule.

MSDS - This is the word you're looking for when you're trying to find things about molecules, like molecular weight, melting point, boiling point, hazards, etc. Stands for material safety data sheet.

Organic Chemistry Lab Techniques - In case you're writing your pre-lab and don't remember how to vacuum filtrate (plus others). Has pictures and step-by-step instructions.

Master Organic Chemistry - Great diagrams, great explanations, and more study guides!

A great cheat sheet for hydrolysis of nitriles

Writing

Purdue Owl - I always end up referencing my citations against them

Chemical Engineering

NIST table for compressed water and superheated steam - NIST is well known and accurate, and it's a huge 60 page document.

LearnChemE - YouTube channel going over with examples chemical engineering concepts. Kind of hit and miss.
