Most people think that biochemistry is so hard just by looking at those big scientific words. Even I used to think that it's a really big deal to learn biochem. Actually it's not. It's the most fascinating subject I've ever learned. Biochem is biology + chemistry. And it gave me answers to some of the questions I always had and was not satisfied with the answers given by teachers in my freshman year. Why starch gives a blue colour and also a brown colour with iodine? Many people will talk about complexes etc, but the real reason is something else. Learning biochem is so difficult when you look at it like it's the most difficult thing ever. Just relax and start from the 1st page. When there are terms you don't know surf net and you'll see there are so many videos and articles. Guess what, sometimes they contain some cheats too. I'm still studying it so I will post the useful sites I came across so far and I will update this post from time to time when I come across more resources.
Video lessons
Biomolecules - This 10 minutes video series gives you the basic idea about the terms used in biochemistry
Carbohydrates - This is the best biochem video series I found so far and he makes biochem looks much more simpler and also teaches some easy methods to ace it.
AK lectures - AK lectures has a lecture series about all the topics under biochemistry.
Articles
Polysaccarides - Chem.libretexts always has very nice and clear articles. This is the best one I found so far talking about polysaccarides.
Reducing and non reducing sugars - You think reducing and non reducing is not a big deal.. but it's not. There are so many things you can be questioned on exam about this simple topic in a one slide. So make sure you know it before going to exam.
Also there are good articles in khan academy website.
Thank you for reading this post and I will keep updating this post.!! :)
