<p>Title says it all</p>
<p>It is a lot of memorization of structures, enzyme names, metabolic pathways, some concepts though most are derived from Gen and Organic Chemistry. It is a bit analagous to learning Organic Chemistry.</p>
<p>My son is bio chem major. Taking 17 credits per semester It’s a lot of work. His school has tougher intro classes for students majoring in chem or bio so he takes the tougher classes in BOTH.</p>
