Start NowChemistry and physics are the most modern iterations of the process of striving to understand the nature of matter utilizing the scientific method. They are complementary to one another, taking different approaches to explain complex structures and systems in the natural world. Often, the fields overlap or reinforce each other when exploring a particular problem or system. This is particularly true with regard to biological systems, especially the human body.
Chemistry is the branch of science that focuses on the study of matter, its composition and properties, and the reactions that occur to form new compounds. Owing to its complexity, this branch of science is subdivided into biochemistry and organic, inorganic, analytical, and physical chemistry. Physics, meanwhile, is the branch of science that focuses on the study of the fundamental properties of matter and energy. Both fields are vast, with multiple subfields. For biological systems, the subfields of biochemistry and biophysics provide explanations of the molecules that make up organic material and living tissues, and how these come together to carry out different functions to ensure survival.
In this course, the student will be introduced to the core concepts of chemistry and physics required for medical school. For optimal comprehension, the student is expected to have at least a high-school level of understanding of both subjects. Chemistry is a prerequisite for understanding biochemistry, a basic science in medical education, integrated with molecular biology, cell biology, and, later, pharmacology. A solid understanding of physics is also key for grasping the applied concepts of biophysics encountered in human physiology. Examples of these concepts include the fluid mechanics of blood flow, bioelectricity in membrane potentials, bioenergetics and thermodynamics in the packaging of energy in the form of ATP, and exothermic reactions that break down ATP.

very informative and helpful and will definitely use for my exams
very good explanation! thank you for everything you done for oss!
Recomendo pra todos que querem saber melhor sob Medina das universidades
Prof Kevin Ahern is incredible! Great summary and really well explained!
The material is accessible and very well thought out. Thank you for this resource. Imagine if we can have clinical material as well for Years 3, 4, 5, and 6 that would be awesome!
Jared taught a very difficult subject with simple examples to illustrate the concepts.
I wanted to know about induced current and difference between galvanic and faradic current. it is not included there.
Straight to the point explained well. I have had a time trying to study physics. this makes stuff way easier
There's some good information in here, but it definitely cannot be taught by itself and will need supplemental textbooks to fill in some of the details.
Professor Kevin make it enjoyable course; It helped not only in remembering many info that I forgot in the class, but also I did learn many new valuable information. The fact that the explanation provided by Dr. Kevin is so easy to understand and memorize, make this course very interesting.
I am engineer I have studied this long time ago I was also University Professor 7 years I do know how to recognise a good teacher when I see one He is really good
Very concise and simple explanations. He made it easy to understand.
man, i was so confused about this topic but now I'm clear , I'm very pleased
Very good explanation. I thank Lecturio for making this true.
Very nice explanation. Just some more lingual subtitles required such as Tamil.
The video was a great help in making me understand easily on the topic of the gas phase. I think it was very educational for the students who struggles to understand well the topic.
This lecture provided me with so much clarity. Thank you
I 'm nontraditional science major but all of these videos are good description and easiest to get understand.
Interesting. I have tries to learn this about 2-3 times but never quiet stuck in my mind. Too easy to forget why an enzyme does this or that, however Dr.Kevins way of sharing the WHY this is significant really helped conndct the dots.
Por que explicó detalladamente y con ejemplos la importancia del principio de exclusión de Pauli y que para que se cumpla en el orbital S, debemos considerar al numero cuantico spin
such a hard concept explained so easy and well. such an amazing work sir
I enjoy the instructors, they give very clear explanation's and also the concepts help's my memory.
The lectures on Enzyme and Enzymes Kinetics were thorough. There were detailed information on some important concepts.
It was really an awesome and not only this one but also the previous ones . The explainiation just made it fun and easy or it would have been too difficult for us to just go decode the ncert on own . Thank you to the lecturer and LECTURIO!!!!!
Amazing teacher, straight to the point, clear way of explaining.
The explanation was quite detailed without leaving the basics. Good illustrations as well.
I love the way he explained enzyme.... A brief and easy to understand lecture
Thank you Dr. Kevin Ahern. You made me fall in love with biochemistry.
I always enjoyed Dr Ahern's handling of the Biochemistry subject, especially his eplanations
I really understand thanks to you, because you are breaking everything into detail, which is great for someone like me, who still needs to understand the basic concepts in physics!
Every slide has been clearly explained in detailed form. Thanks sir.
This class was great for me when I was studying the respiratory system physiology.
its easy to understand but somethings are a little confusing because of the speed
To me he is the best chemistry teacher,till date.His lectures clarifies all my doubts.Thank you so much sir..
I really like the video, makes medical biochemistry easier to understand
Before Lecturio I struggled with comprehending the mechanism of proteases and enzyme kinetics. Dr. Ahern brilliantly & easily explained these concepts in less than 5 minutes. I am currently in a graduate program for Medical Sciences, we have cumulative exams every quarter & I was just memorizing the info but now I finally understand. I recommend Lecturio to pre-meds, MCAT, and Med students.
Dr. Ahern is a fantastic lecturer. All the course is simply awsome.
Simple approach for a complex topic which shows the presenter’s depth of knowledge
Condensed, to the point, good explanations. Would highly recommend. Good for MCAT review
Very clear explanations. Thank you guys for your educational efforts. You make studying enjoyable.
I believe the term is entropy is misused in this lecture.
Excellent lecture. Understood Bohr effect better than ever. I love these lectures.
The Professor is excellent, every one can understand easily de concepts
Excellent teacher . Great lectures . He knows how to teach the subject matter
I like how Dr. Cornwall recaps chemistry and relation to energy to cells. Her hand motions help with my learning and understanding. Thank you.
I gave a 5 reason because Physics has been a challenging course to me , especially magnetism. the way the concepts were broken down gave me a deeper understanding and i can now start to understand what i learned as an undergraduate. Keep it up.
I like the practical comparisons used for better understanding and remembering the topic, makes it much easier and more entertaining!
All the masses are added up of objects, divided by it!!!
I love it... 100% worth it... Made it simple and easy to understand!
Dr. Ahern creates a great foundation by breaking down concepts and building on them throughout the lectures.
Why I don't understand his explanation. Its not detailed enough to follow.
I don't get it. I feel like he's reading off a script and its too much show and less understanding.
Si la Chemistry hubiera sido explicada de esa forma en mi Children Process, entender su importancia pudo haberme ahorrado mi vital time, y tener una vida more easy.
very good and excellent lecture.i like it.very good presentation
I finally understood why we have Lineweaver Burk Plot and how we read it.
Great lecture. You have a great and enthusiastic way of explaining.
Perfect way of explaining complex things. This is rarely seen by lecturers. Wow!
I just love this Professor. He has made physiology quite simple. He is a true professor. I hope to meet him one time and gain from his vast knowledge face to face.
Attaractively and well explained video of serine protease catalytic mechanism that I have ever seen...Thank you..????
how the idea is introduced and how it flow easily , i would like more examples solved by him for generally each rule
Great lecture with simple explanations for the freshman. Like it!
good explanation of the real reason behind the fluid's trends.
Amazing lectures! Very well explained and effective videos. A perfect way to get a clear view of the subjects, very glad I found this.
This lecture offers only the very basic principles for understanding the concept of hybridisation with very little examples. The lecturer himself seems as if he reads notes off a text book out loud without providing appropriate explanation on the idea behind the way that hybridisation works in interacting atoms. Also, providing problem-solving exercises (like at the end of lecture 12. Covalent Bonds - Quantum Numbers), as well as, the answers to those questions - so that someone can mark their own responses - is an essential part of teaching and learning I hope we can agree.
THANK YOU Pro Ahern you're amazing! very well explained!
Professor Ahern is a perfect teacher and he makes everything so easy to understand
Excellent course. Jared is a great teacher and made the concepts easy to understand.
Superb !!! An Elaborate amount of the knowledge about physics is provided beautifully and consistently !!! Jared Rovny is best lecturer I have ever seen in my life !!!
Great job again Dr. Ahern! You have helped me better my understanding of these topics.
very informative and well explained lecture. Dr. Kevin Ahern has changed my view of biochemistry.
Very well put. Dr Kevin Ahern explains difficult topics in a very short concise and interesting manner.
Great enzyme analogy! Enzyme is the friend who puts his two other friends in contact with each other so that they can start talking and dating ;)
I like your course, its not bad, sorry for the late review
Not my favorite subject but very well explained and understanded.
It is really helpful. I appreciate your kind efforts. Thanks verh much.
It was just amazing, he was critic to give information and had the most important skills for me, and that is: perfect didactic. Had all concise information I needed.
He simplified the concepts and illustrated by a very nice way
Excellent delivery of content which was easy to understand Good use of diagrams and graphs to help explain key concepts
i understood the whole concept from adam sir clearly and wanna learn more from him....
I liked the lecture and the diagrams, I can put 5 stars yet because I am unsure how relevant everything is. Pretty basic biochem, but it was a good refresher. The diagrams are helpful.
IITS GOOD NICE. PLESE MENTION IT IS FOR WHICH CLASS
The material covered a wide variety and having a non-science background it is clear and easy to understand.
Video learning really helps me understand concepts better especially with an instructor.
I like how Dr. Ahern took his time to explain the topic in an articulate manner. Helped me understand the topic and want to learn it more.
El semestre pasado apenas y me di cuenta de todo lo que la enzimas y las reacciones significaban, ahora creo tener una visión mucho ma completa, GRACIAS
Very easily to follow. The concepts are explained so that one who isn’t familiar with biochem can understand with ease.
Well done by the professor with full of transfer sense.
Great way to wrap up the series. Initially, I fell into a couple of the "traps" Jared mentioned. Now, I will keep this video in mind on test day. Thanks!
Doctor Ahren. Great explanations and enhances my knowledge in biochemistry, i´d rather reccomend you tu use a lower velocity on your explanations because some of the students are foreigners and they probably may lose the idea. Nevertheless i´m completely satisfied with your video lectures.
Simplified the lecture in enzymes and i like how everything was explained in a simple but direct way. :)
The teacher is super clear and efficient when it comes to explaining fundamental Force concepts.
Very complete and straight to the point, better than when my teacher explains
Great and straightforward lecture For short period of time. Thank you very much
Very simply explained. He made a concept that I had been struggling with seem very simple. He explained better than my physics instructor who seems to have given up on teaching a subject that is very interesting.
The best lecture I ever heard.I liked everything about it. I would recommend this to all students studying Physics.
Jared has concise and clear approach to the subject of physics. A good teacher is very important to understand concepts of physics.
Wow! Never thought I’d be amazed by the clarity and succintness of the discussion. Packs into a few minutes what would take a four hour lecture to discuss. Defintely recommended these lectures to my friends who are struggling with biochemistry and don’t want to use the books so much.
Very educational, a good source for priming for MCAT. Quizzes at the end of slides, and option to take notes while learning are a plus!
It is very clearly and enthusiastically explained. You make Biochem easy to understand.
As a medical student I found this series of lectures on enzymes extremely clarifying. Dr Ahern is a great lecturer. Thank you so much.
Communicates at a good rate and audible tone ,explains concepts well to begginers and intermeddiate level students .Thank you!
Professor Dr. Kevin Ahern is very clear in presenting. Love the short but very informative lectures. Would recommend to everyone, those with or without biochemistry understanding. Thank you very much Professor and Thanks to the maker of Lecturio.
I understood perfectly the concepts the way he explained them. He makes it ease to grasp
A fantastic lecture and it is very helpful for me thank you very much.
Very simple and easy to understand. Would definitely recommend this course.
I love to use this great app to review my med knowledge!
no words can describe how much this was amazingly useful
l am a pre-med student and after watching this lecture I decided I was definitely subscribing! Everything was explained clearly and I understood the concept completely.
perfectly explained and i wanted to ask that i am in class 11 so can i have lectures on that
Both comprehensive and simple lectures, could use some more medical/clinical correlations, though.
It is fantastic to have a lecturer making a diffucult subject easy. Now i can not wait diving into some hardcore books about enzymes. Watching an inspiring teacher really makes a difference. This guy is also rather fast talking so you dont need to speed up, witch i do quite often. Also the pop quiz in the end just makes it so much more fun. It becomes a game. And thats great and enhances long term memory.
what an amazing voice! and no uhs, ums and pauses like so many bad lecturers out there. I can't wait to watch the rest of the videos!
It had been a few years since reviewing enzyme kinematics, this was a great refresher!
it´s great conference, well explain, clear and simple. like ir a lot
This lecture has taught me more maths than I learned in one entire year at school. Thank you!
The facilitators are very good because they motivate you to learn.
thanks. the lecture was very informative and concise for such a complicated topic
the plot charts are really confusing. takes a few replays to grasp a little.
Lecturer seems to know the material and is able to convey in a manner that is engaging
These lessons are brilliant enjoyed them so much I have bought some books by Kevin Ahern, PhD the questions at the end also reinforce learning.
every concept is made very simple and as short as possible
Very good lecture that covers one of the core principles of the vascular system through math, and gives a headsup for what might come to the exam. I would, though, like to see more than one example solved.
it was extremely helpful and cleared many of my doubts.thanks!
The lecture itself is good. His pace is slow enough to follow, yet not too slow, and he is extremely clear. Including questions in later lectures would be a great improvement to the course.
This is professor is really good at explaining concepts and is thorough with getting caught up in the details
A very clear understanding of the basic concepts was developed by Kevin. Good examples and perfect illustrations made everything so easy and interesting.
very clear Explanation; I managed to understand mechanism for each type of Ihnibitors thus I can now draw the lineweaver plots.
Great constructive instruction at a understandable medical level thank you! Thelma Boshoff
