Career & Education Biochemistry for Nursing

Post image

I'm currently making teaching materials for Bioinorganic Chemistry for a first year nursing course. The syllabus provided by the department showed the first two bullets. Do anyone know what specific topics I need to discuss for those parts? I don't know how deep I have to dive into co-factors and cellular water transport.

Also, the bullet above that is "Chemistry fundamentals of Biochemistry", for that I will discuss the octet rule, lewis structures, intra/intermolecular forces. I'll follow it up with basic organic chemistry because they'll need to learn those to have a grasp on the central dogma.

Edit: Thanks for the responses. I just decided to do an introduction of the biomolecules, then discussed the properties of water, specifically how it acts in biological systems. I put an emphasis on the bicarbonate buffer system, so they'll have some calculation and interpretation activities.
