Biochemistry: Structure and Mechanism

Catalog description

This course examines the macromolecular structure and function of the four basic components: 1) nucleotides, 2) proteins, 3) lipids and 4) sugars. This course will cover the processes of transcription and translation. The laboratory portion of this course will introduce biochemistry procedures where students will learn to identify the four basic components. In addition, computer techniques for studying these topics will be utilized. Prerequisite: BSC 24400 with a C or better; CHM 23200 ; CHM 36200 .
