Introduction to Organic and Biochemistry

by Muhammad Arif Malik

Read here Read at LibreTextsPDF

This book aims to teach undergraduates introductory concepts of organic and biochemistry in one semester, assuming introductory general chemistry knowledge. It is intended for health sciences, like pre-nursing, psychology, kinesiology, and non-science majors. This book will hopefully provide enough knowledge to prepare the students to understand basic organic and biochemistry used in their professional subjects and appreciate the impact of chemistry in everyday life. Homework is associated.
