It might be a little late, but the ochem series covered almost all the important topics... ochem is not really a high yield topic in particular, it's generally 2% of the exam, but it's still important and the exam branches these ideas to chemistry and bio (amino acids is very, very yielded). I recommend checking Khan Academy and AAMC to see all topics required furthermore, despite lovely created lectures, some topics are not covered or provided yet on this channel (such as sound, optics, magnetism, or immunology). These topics are just as important, and will appear in the exam in some way or another Khan academy provides a general list for test prep, so you can research them individually. Make sure to use sources that are similar to AAMC (such as khan or this channel's resources).. Good luck!
Peptide bond hydrolysis is the reaction in which a peptide + water --> two separated smaller peptides (e.g., 10 amino acid peptide + water --> 3 amino acid peptide + 7 amino acid peptide). There are bonds formed in the products and bonds broken in the reactants. The bonds formed in the products release more energy than the energy required to break the bonds in the reactants. This is the same reason why ATP hydrolysis is exergonic.
Any more videos on Ochem section?
no
Thank you for this video series!
why is the amine group a nucleophile if it has a positive charge? I thought nucleophiles usually would have a negative charge
thanks for this series! does this series cover everything needed for the Organic chemistry section of the MCAT?

also i thought breaking bonds is always endergonic? So why is breaking a peptide bond exergonic?
