Course Overview

This course focuses on the basic principles of biochemistry. Biochemistry is the study of chemical processes within
living organisms that allows us to understand how biological molecules give rise to cells, tissues, organs, and
organisms. We will further our understanding of biochemistry by studying the structure and function of the four main
types of macromolecules (nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates), enzymes, and key metabolic pathways.

One of my goals is to tie key biochemical principles to disease and health. For example, Type 2 diabetes is a disease
of metabolic dysregulation in which altered fatty acid metabolism has been implicated in the severity of insulin
resistance.

Class will meet three times a week (M.Tu.W) for 1.5 hours 11am to 12:30pm ET and discussion will be every
Thursday.

Course Goals

After completing this course, you should be able to:

• Identify the general structure and function of carbohydrates, phospholipids, proteins, enzymes and nucleic acids.

Study Tips:

● Biology is a very vocabulary heavy subject area. Learning word part definitions will aid your
learning as well as making flash cards and using biological terms when asking or answering
questions as well as use of the biological terms in conversation. This link from Pearson is a
good resource for biological terms and definitions.

● Prepare for class – read and watch the suggested resources (you can find these in the files
section and class modules). Come to class with questions.

● Take advantage of your TAs and office hours.
● As much as possible, create a productive study space for yourself.
● Participate in class! Ask questions when you don’t understand. Use your previous knowledge

to enrich the class conversations.

CHAPTER 1
ATOMS, MOLECULES, AND QUANTUM NUMBERS1

PROTONS
Protons are found, along with neutrons, in the nucleus of an atom. Each proton has an amount of
charge equal to the fundamental unit of charge (1.6 × 10-19 C), and we denote this fundamental
unit of charge as “+1” for the proton. Protons have a mass of approximately one atomic mass
unit, or amu.

The atomic number (Z) of an element is equal to the number of protons found in an atom of that
element. The atomic number is like your Social Security number; it acts as a unique identifier for
each element because no two elements have the same one. All atoms of a given element have the
same atomic number, although, as we will see, they do not necessarily have the same atomic
mass.

NEUTRONS
Neutrons are the Switzerland of an atom; they are neutral, which means that they have no charge.
A neutron’s mass is only slightly larger than that of the proton, and together, the protons and the
neutrons of the nucleus make up almost the total mass of an atom. Every atom has a
characteristic mass number, which is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the atom’s nucleus.

The number of neutrons in the nuclei of atoms of a given element may vary; thus, atoms of the
same element will always have the same atomic number but will not necessarily have the same
mass number. Atoms that share an atomic number but have different mass numbers are known as
isotopes of the element. The convention is used to show both the atomic number (Z) and the
mass number (A) of atom X.

ELECTRONS
If you think of the nucleus as a game of checkers, the electrons would be children who express
varying degrees of interest in playing or watching the game. Electrons move around in pathways
in the space surrounding the nucleus and are associated with varying levels of energy. Each
electron has a charge equal to that of a proton but with the opposite (negative) charge, denoted
by “-1.”

The mass of an electron is approximately that of a proton. Because subatomic particle masses are
so small, the electrostatic force of attraction between the unlike charges of the proton and
electron is far greater than the gravitational force of attraction based on their respective masses.

1 Kaplan General Chemistry Review

Some basic features of the three subparticles are shown in Table 1.1.

Table 1.1

Example: Determine the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in a nickel-58 atom and in a
nickel-60 2+ cation.

Solution: 58Ni has an atomic number of 28 and a mass number of 58. Therefore, 58Ni will have
28 protons, 28 electrons, and 58 - 28, or 30, neutrons.

In the 60Ni2+ species, the number of protons is the same as in the neutral 58Ni atom. However,
60Ni2+ has a positive charge because it has lost two electrons; thus, Ni2+ will have 26 electrons.
Also, the mass number is two units higher than for the 58Ni atom, and this difference in mass
must be due to two extra neutrons; thus, it has a total of 32 neutrons.

Review
• Atomic number (Z) = number of protons.
• Mass number (A) = number of protons + number of neutrons.
• Number of protons = number of electrons (in a neutral atom).

ATOMIC WEIGHT
As we’ve seen, the mass of one proton is defined as approximately one amu. The size of the
atomic mass unit is defined as exactly the mass of the carbon-12 atom, approximately
1.66 × 10-24 grams (g). Because the carbon-12 nucleus has six protons and six neutrons, an amu
is really the average of the mass of a proton and a neutron. Because the difference in mass
between the proton and the neutron is so small, the mass of the proton and the neutron are each
about equal to 1 amu. Thus, the atomic mass of any atom is simply equal to the mass number
(sum of protons and neutrons) of the atom.

A more common convention used to define the mass of an atom is the atomic weight. The atomic
weight is the mass in grams of one mole of atoms of a given element and is expressed as a ratio
of grams per mole (g/mol). A mole is the number of “things” equal to Avogadro’s number:
6.022 × 1023. For example, the atomic weight of carbon is 12 g/mol, which means that 6.022 ×
1023 carbon atoms (1 mole of carbon atoms) have a combined mass of 12 grams. One gram is
then equal to one mole of amu.

ISOTOPES
The term isotope comes from the Greek, meaning “the same place.” Isotopes are atoms of the
same element (hence, occupying the same place on the periodic table of the elements) that have
different numbers of neutrons (which means that these atoms of the same element have different
mass numbers).
Isotopes are referred to by the name of the element followed by the mass number (e.g., carbon-
12 has six neutrons, carbon-13 has seven neutrons, etc.). Only the three isotopes of hydrogen are
given unique names: protium (Greek protos; first) has one proton and an atomic mass of 1 amu;
deuterium (Greek deuteros; second) has one proton and one neutron and an atomic mass of 2
amu; tritium (Greek tritos; third) has one proton and two neutrons and an atomic mass of 3 amu.
Because isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons, they generally exhibit the same
chemical properties.
In nature, almost all elements exist as two or more isotopes, and these isotopes are usually
present in the same proportions in any sample of a naturally occurring element. The presence of
these isotopes accounts for the fact that the accepted atomic weight for most elements is not a
whole number. The masses listed in the periodic table are weighted averages that account for the
relative abundance of various isotopes. See Figure 1.2 for the relative abundances in nature of
the first several elements. Hydrogen, which is very abundant, has three isotopes.

Figure 1.2
Example: Element Q consists of three different isotopes, A, B, and C. Isotope A has an atomic
mass of 40 amu and accounts for 60 percent of naturally occurring Q. The atomic mass of
isotope B is 44 amu and accounts for 25 percent of Q. Finally, isotope C has an atomic mass of
41 amu and a natural abundance of 15 percent. What is the atomic weight of element Q?
Solution: 0.60(40 amu) + 0.25(44 amu) + 0.15(41 amu) = 24.00 amu + 11.00 amu + 6.15 amu =
41.15 amu. The atomic weight of element Q is 41.15 g/mol.

Each student has been assigned to a TA group of 10 or 11 students (divided alphabetically, as
indicated above). The TAs are responsible for running the Study Group sessions as well as
grading the Problem Sets and Class Worksheets. The TAs will also be available during class to
answer questions.

Course Goal:
The goal of this course is for you to learn not only the fundamentals of Organic Chemistry

but also the approach needed for you to succeed in this course at your home university. Organic
Chemistry is known for being a rigorous and challenging subject. Nevertheless, understanding
the foundational concepts and learning how to problem-solve, rather than strictly memorizing
material, will enable you to be successful. This will require a relatively significant time
commitment outside of class, but putting in this extra effort will make class time more productive
and will ultimately pay off with an excellent grade!

This course will be taught in a “flipped” classroom: you will be expected to review the
lecture material at home on your own time, while class time will be spent going over problems
that would typically be assigned for homework. It is critical that you invest the time to review the
lecture material before each class because I will not be re-teaching concepts. Class sessions
and study group sessions will be spent working through practice problems, as this is the best
way to learn Organic Chemistry. Building these study skills will set you on the right path to being
successful in your future academic endeavors.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Welcome to Basic Physics 1, taught by Edward Sanchez.

This course provides an introduction to first year university physics. Students will engage in a number
of physics problems that first year university students will encounter. Some topics will be quite easy,
while others may be more difficult. Calculus will be used but its use will be minimal. Students will be
encouraged to share information with one another.

Since this is a six week course, the focus will be on the first seven or eight chapters of the textbook
mentioned below. Students will develop a broad understanding of physics mechanics. This course

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This summer seminar series aims to introduce students to some key concepts in
nutrition, including the socio-ecological model with emphasis on some of the
environmental determinants of eating behaviors; salient issues in nutrition through the
lifecycle; the challenges of meeting dietary guidelines through food alone; the interplay
between sleep and nutrition; and a case-presentation about the importance of food
insecurity and other health disparities in the impact on managing diabetes.

Virtual Clinical
Experiences

The Learning Accelerator for Clinical Education

Dear Student,
Your school has chosen to integrate Body Interact as a new
teaching methodology, and your teacher will start using our
virtual patient simulator in class. Welcome on board of our
gaming-like experience, while treating virtual patients.
Read the following instructions carefully to feel confident
about using Body Interact!

What is it?

Body Interact supports the effective practice of clinical reasoning and decision-making skills through
realistic virtual patient scenarios. You will be exposed to lifelike situations and you will be able to observe
changes in visible signs and symptoms or lab tests that will help you treating a patient. The patient reacts
to everything you do, so train your mind to think and prepare yourself for the real world, in a safe
environment.

How can you access it?

Your teacher will give you the log-in credentials so you can access your own Body Interact account. You can
log in through one of the following platforms, anytime, anywhere:

Windows MacOS iOS Web Android

How does it work?

Click on the image to learn how to simulate a case in Body Interact.
Scenarios have different levels of difficulty and complexity (Basic, Intermediate
and Advanced). Challenge yourself every time you play!

Feedback

Your simulation is limited in time, depending on how much time your teacher has given you to complete the
scenario. You will succeed if you manage your virtual patient correctly by meeting the clinical requirements
and guidelines, as well as the multiple-choice question at the end. Your simulation may end if:
- You have run out of time,
- You have met the guidelines,
- Your patient has not received the correct treatment.
Everything you do will be recorded, and if your teacher allows you, you can have access to a debriefing area
with information about your performance.

Good afternoon NERA Level 1 & SHPEP Students,
Hope all is well.

We have some great news, we have added our NERA Body Interact Clinical Case
Simulation course. The course will occur weekly on Fridays from 2pm-4pm in
the virtual space to incorporate your clinical education sessions. These dates
and times have been added to your schedules. Dr. Tendai Musengi Chihuri (also
known as Dr. Tee) will be your main instructor for our NERA Body Interact
modules.

Attached is the Body Interact Clinical Education overview document for your
review. It contains instructions on how to access the system along with the web
browser specifications.

How to Access Body Interact:
In order for the students access Body Interact, they should proceed as
follows BodyInteract - Web version - (for Students)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
In order to access Body Interact, you should open this
link: https://web.bodyinteract.com/webgl/
