Principles of Biochemistry: Structure and Function of Biomolecules

Catalog description

This course provides an overview of the main aspects of biochemistry and relates molecular interactions to their effects on the organism as a whole, especially as related to human biology. The organization of macromolecules is addressed through a discussion of their hierarchical structure and a study of their assembly into complexes responsible for specific biological processes. The overall goal of this course is to impart basic knowledge of biomolecular structure and function and to familiarize students with fundamental biochemical concepts and techniques.
