What knowledge have you connected with past knowledge?

This course has been a recurring source of flashbacks to organic chemistry. Between chemical kinetics, chemical structures and the importance of functional groups, there has been a lot of review on the subject of organic chemistry. In ties with the name of the field, chemistry isn’t the only knowledge to bear connections with biochemistry, there have also been numerous times where the knowledge overlap between biology and biochemistry have become apparent. Most recently with the discussion of how enzymes work, although when I first learned it, I had know the “lock and key” variant of the process, and knew nothing of the induced fit model. Other previously known information includes: amino acids, primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structures of proteins and formation of polypeptide chains. No information so far has been “new” so to speak, but it has gone more in depth into ideas discussed in previous classes.
