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.
