      Definition of a lens

      Lenses

      A lens is a custom view of Connexions content. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see Connexions through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

      What is in a lens?

      Lens makers point to Connexions materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

      Who can create a lens?

      Any individual Connexions member, a community, or a respected organization.

Foundations of Modern Biochemistry

Module by: Thang Nguyen

Summary: Biochemistry seeks to describe the structure, organization, and functions of living matter in molecular terms. It can be divided into three principal areas: 1. The structural chemistry of the components of living matter and the relationship of biological function to chemical structure. 2. Metabolism - the totality of chemical reactions that occur in living matter. 3. The chemistry of processes and substances that store and transmit biological information.
