BIO 2020 - Biochemistry


Credits: 4

This intermediate level course focuses on the structure, function, and properties of biological molecules. The organization of amino acids, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids are addressed through a discussion of their hierarchical structure, their assembly into essential complexes in biological systems, and their relationship to human disease. Protein function is examined through the study of enzyme kinetics, the characterization of major metabolic pathways, and the interconnectivity of these pathways in tightly regulated networks.
