To be honest, if you are a master at Ochem, you can think about why alot of the reactions in BIBC 102 happen. In other words, your knowledge of ochem is useful, but not essentially required. If anything, CHEM140C will help you more, because you learn more biochemical related reactions in that class than in CHEM140B, not to mention that both CHEM140C and BIBC102 make you memorize everything about the 21 amino acids, which helped. I took both of those classes together and the 21 amino acids were the first of many things to memorize in BIBC, while they were the last things to memorize in CHEM, so it fit pretty nicely.

BIPN 148 is the learning basis one correct? Isn’t the Leutgeb couple teaching that? I don’t exactly know how they are, but I know Fortes for 102 just stands up and lectures and I heard it’s useful to get AS notes for his class. Honestly, I can try really hard to convince you not to take BIBC/BIPN together but it’s honestly just still up to you. Honestly I thought BIPN 100 was more memorization but the material concepts were alot easier than that of BIBC 102.
