Lecture, chapter 3 - DNA, RNA, and proteins

Today we had our first lecture. We introduced the course and had an overview of the syllabus. Then we had an overview of the "road map" of this course, a series of major topics that are the backbone of what the course is going to be, and how each one of the chapters fit within such plan.

We staring covering chapter 3, on DNA, RNA, and proteins. We talked about the very basics structure of nucleotides and their components, how they are linked, and the rationale behind their nomenclature. We finished the lecture talking about the double helix structure of DNA.
