Chem 142A is the first course of a three-course sequence (Chem 142ABC) and serves as an introduction and prerequisite for the two following courses. The Chem 142 sequence provides the students fundamentals of biochemistry and molecular biology, and is mainly intended for students in the field of chemistry and biology.
The current course, Chem 142A, has two main focuses:
| Syllabus | General information about the course. | |
| Textbook | Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry (Nelson & Cox) | Link |
| Last Year | Biochemistry Chem 142A: Summer 2005 | Link |
| Exam | Midterm I Preparation Guide | |
| Exam | Midterm I Answer Key (2006) | |
| Exam | Midterm II Preparation Guide | |
