Biochemistry

Catalog description

This course will provide a molecular description of biological structure and function. Molecular structure, metabolic pathways, and gene expression will receive major emphasis in this course. A thorough understanding of these topic will prepare students for other health science courses like physiology, pathophysiology, and pharmacology, by laying the foundation for understanding homeostasis and disease processes. The goal of this course is to learn the core concepts of biochemistry that apply to human health and disease and to cite specific examples of their application.
