Reflecting back on the course, what are three major themes you would identify that connect the various topics discussed in this course – how are they connected to more than one topic, and how do they connect with what you knew before this course? What knowledge have you gained with regards to these three themes you have identified?

Reflecting back on the course I would say proteins, enzymes, and mechanisms are the three themes that connect various topics. Mainly anything in this course has to do with a specific protein, and enzyme usually associated with that protein and a mechanism in how they work. This could apply to translation where we create a protein. Different enzymes are used and this happens by many different mechanisms. These connect to what I knew before in other courses. Almost all of my previous courses for science somehow involve proteins, enzymes, and mechanisms. I have learned alot of new information regarding these three themes. I have learned for most proteins there are an enzyme that is namely similar. I learned how each of these proteins and enzymes work together and the different mechanisms by which they work. I have seen all three of these themes relate to several different subjects.
