Biochemistry II

Catalog description

A study of bioenergetics, biosynthesis of major biological macromolecules, and metabolic pathways in animals, plants, and microbes. Emphasis will also be placed on methods of purification and analysis of biological macromolecules and applications of basic biochemical principles to living systems. In addition to lectures and discussions, problem sets will be assigned to equip students with an understanding of basic biochemical principles and to promote critical thinking and problem solving skills. The course content will be correlated with the laboratory exercises in the co-requisite Biochemistry laboratory ( BICH 421 ).
