Please note - this webpage is still under construction - but our completed video resources have now been uploaded.
We have produced some video animations to explain some key biochemical concepts relevant to lipids which are mentioned throughout our other resources. Each of the videos is categorised as either LVB or LVC.
LVB resources are more specific to biology students and LVC are aimed more towards chemistry students.
As with all of our resources, we believe that these will all be useful to any biology or chemistry students, or indeed anyone who is interested in biochemical principles, and understanding how the molecular world works.
We encourage students to explore widely, and read deeply, without being too confined by specific exam requirements. To develop a complete understanding of the molecular world, it is vital to combine biological, chemical, and indeed physical principles.
