What knowledge have you connected with past knowledge?

I have connected alot of new knowledge with past knowledge. I remember learning in previous courses about transcription, translation, and DNA. These topic were covered very briefly and did not go into as much detail as we have gone into in biochemistry. For example, I have learned about DNA in several courses. We maninly talked about how it was an alpha helix with base pairs and a sugar phosphate back bone. We learned about which base pairs connect together but in biochemistry, we talked about much more. We talked about how the sugar phosphate back bone came to be and we talked about the hydrogen bonds and which base pairs have a stronger bond because they have a triple hydrogen bond opposed to a double hydrogen bond. We talked about transcription in a way that it is more than just transcribing the information from DNA to make RNA and then how it is translated into the protein. In biochemistry, we learned what enzymes, complexes, innitiaters, promoters, enhancers, etc. that were involved. It always helps to have previous knowledge to help one remember that knowledge and build upon it.
