What knowledge have you connected with past knowledge?

                So far, the class had made many connections to prior knowledge.  It was interesting to see and further expand on the topic of biochemical molecules like proteins.  In previous courses like biology and chemistry, discussions of molecules were limited to their respective aspect.  But in biochemistry, these discussions were integrated from all of their different aspects. 

                Protein is an interesting topic in biochemistry and it was amazing to see the actual structure of protein molecules that are important for life.  The protein database was exceptional in providing the public with intricate information of these protein molecules.  Hemoglobin and myoglobin are important molecules and was discuss extensively in biology and anatomy/physiology and their discussion in class provided me with further connection to its form, functions, and complications.

                There were many other connections made like acids/bases, buffering, Henderson-Hasselbach equations, enzymes etc.  These many topics were discussed in previous courses but biochemistry connected them to the process of life.
