NUCLEOTIDES, NUCLEIC ACIDS, VITAMINS & MINERALS by Professor Fink

Review of Biological Chemistry, including Nucleotides, Nucleic Acids, Vitamins & Minerals. Reference is made to the components of each nucleotide: a 5-Carbon sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), a nitrogenous base, and phosphate. Purine bases (adenine & guanine) and Pyrimidine bases (thymine, cytosine & uracil) are described. Special reference is made to the high energy nucleotide, Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), as well as AMP and ADP. Both the molecular structure of RNA is presented, and the molecular structure of DNA. Reference is made to complementary binding of bases and the Double Helix structure of the DNA. Clarification is given to the terms: Chromatids, Chromatin (uncoiled) Shape & Chromosomes (coiled-up) Shape of the DNA molecule. The principal functions of the lipid-soluble vitamins (retinol, calciferol, tocopherol & phylloquinone) & water-soluble vitamins (ascorbic acid, niacin, riboflavin & pantothenic acid) and the macronutrient minerals (calcium, phosphate, sodium & potassium) & micronutrient (trace) minerals (iron, iodine, copper & zinc). Reference is made to anti-oxidants, goiters & anemia.

YOU SHOULD HAVE A NOVEL PRIZE,BEST PROFESSOR TO ALL STUDENT .

[@sarasal587]

Sir you are an amazing teacher. I have watched it before starting university many years ago. now I have a master's in Physiology and I am watching it again in lockdown. Can't thank you enough.

[@jacquelinepazminoechanique8684]

Wow really well explained! I love to hear all his Lectures, thank you very much !

Biological Chemistry is not my field. I'm in economy, national accounts, societal cost-benefit analyses, societal transitions, transportation etc.
And yet these classes are entertaining and informative. Video's like this make me suspect that Massive Open Online Courses are the way to go for 80% of the higher education anywhere in the world, leaving more time and resources open for teachers like Fink to apply their unique didactical skills in a customized, individual way.

[@dr.ardhinmartdana575]

very good thinking of lecturing, it gives us pure essential knowledge to understand more than just memorize.

Professor Steven Fink my leader and foundation pharmacology

I have to say that while you're an excellent teacher, I was starting to lose my mind with review. BUT I'm SO GRATEFUL now!! We take all of these classes and no one puts the pieces together. I took college Physio & for an example; we were just supposed to know a chemical called "CoA" that performed a function. We were told it didn't matter, we didn't have time to bother with what it meant. So I sort of forgot about it. And I took nutrition courses so I knew all of the vitamins & minerals & what they are useful for. But it's ABSURD to me that no one ever explained that vitamins are like steroid hormones & minerals like electrolytes and they all are coenzymes that assist in reactions. It's amazing to have a teacher put the chemistry, anatomy etc all together to really explain Physio. I have maybe 300-350 college units. THANK YOU SO MUCH for your help. I always say that I can't learn something well, let alone remember it, if I don't understand how it works and see the complete picture. So so much of these classes is sharing parts of concepts. We really do need strong pre-requisites as a foundation and then upper division teachers who teach like you do (but without having to reteach students who glossed over the prerequisites). Vitamins and minerals were always a random concept to me, they didn't make sense in premed because all of what this is is FORM & FUNCTION, and efficient machine with all its parts and the problems and solutions (disease). I'm so excited to learn about all of the other things I don't know I missed-to fill the gaping holes in this big puzzle. I'd LOVE to learn Micro, pathology, biochem from you too. Particularly Micro Seemed like it needed to be 2 semesters or just different. 🙏🙏🙏💗

[@professorfink]

Thank you, Jane, for your kind words. My sincere Best Wishes for your Success!

[@dhaccessories]

Your are the BEST teacher in the world!!! Thank you so much.

[@racheldavey4052]

I LOVE these videos - I can't understand my physiology lecturer and everything goes over my head ! But you explain it so well I understand :) thanks

[@rapunzel7766]

Thank you professor, you're officially my lecturer even tho I don't attend your classes physically❤

[@santiagomarcosfull]

Thanks Dr. Fink! great lesson!

[@bless1012]

He is MORE than "best", Super-duper Ultra-tera!!

[@mariamkinen8036]

Yes. Nobel-prize for Prof. Fink. Couldn't be made any clearer, whatever you speak. Lovely.💕 Superb.

[@professorfink]

Thank you! 😃

[@julierahmonova6439]

you are the one really

[@Sam_1964]

Thank you

[@khalilsafi5620]

i love you professor fink you are the best

[@mariamkinen8036]

The Water -solubles are secreted out of our system more easily. Not taking notes , but I love to listen to.... could study this.

[@alyaagamal5907]

Perfect

[@hilemariamtaddess571]

i am speechless!!!! you are awesome.. you make biology easy.
our A&P teacher is borring.

[@MrGrapesforall]

wish Dr. Think was my prof.

[@heartquran23]

Great lecture!

[@stx9327]

great lectures!

[@csuchemimi]

Thanks for your lectures!

[@dianereyes3560]

I HOPE YOU HAVE VACATION SOMETIMES

[@farahali5754]

And physiology

[@Chianina2009]

it is great, thanks!
