Biochemistry Basics – MCAT Preparation Course

Biochemistry: Basics

“This course offers you a series of lectures on the basics of biochemistry. The topics discussed include peptides and proteins, as well as enzymes and non-enzymatic protein functions”.

Professor Fred Echeverria will guide you through the structure and function of the chemistry of carbohydrates, lipids and biological membranes.

You will learn the basic principles of the the associated genes and metabolism.

What will you learn ?

You will  learn that the human body was designed and that it never”evolved” through cellular structures of organism developed as a result of non-mathematical or far fetched statistical approach as taught by mindless “evolutionary” schools.

You will be instructed in the ways of pragmatism and scientific truth and never on extrapolating,  conjectures, that have little and absolutely no foundation in many of today’s biochemistry system, which have nevertheless hijacked the “modern world” of science. (Prof. Louis Bounoure, 1984).

We will never teach philosophical concepts that are “starved of observational evidence as there is no credible mechanism for macroevolution and the evidence they claim in support of it is totally equivocal.”
