The textbook is divided into 4 basic sections. • Section Ⅰ: Chapter 1 (a brief introduction and review) Chapter 2 (water and its properties) All living systems operate in an aqueous environment. Understanding the properties of water is crucial to understand how molecules behave in that environment. • Section Ⅱ: Chapter 3 to Chapter 11 (molecular structure and function) the most fundamental biochemistry: the direct relationship between the structure of biological molecule/system and its function —— Understanding function enables us fit into the larger context of the cell/organism
