The biomolecules we shall be examining are constructed from a set of basic structural elements: small molecules that are combined in multiple instances to form large molecules. Here are some pages presenting these fundamental structures, in organic chemists' notation. Some of the pages are linked to Chime pages that provide three-dimensional representations that you can manipulate.

| Amino Acids | Carbohydrates (Sugars) |
Purines and Pyrimidines |
| Nucleotides and Nucleosides | Phosphates | Cofactors and Coenzymes |
