Biochemistry

Catalog description

Biochemistry is a field about chemistry in living organisms. Biochemistry CE-333 is a 1-semester complete biochemistry course. This water-based chemistry will initially explore monomers (amino acids, monosacharides and nucleotides) followed by their polymers (protein, polysaccharides and nucleic acids) with a focus on the relationship between their structure and function. Moreover, structures and properties of fatty acids to phospholipids and membranes will be studied. The properties of these molecules and how they all interact together will be further studies through the concepts of enzymology and metabolism. Being multidisciplinary, this course should be taken by chemistry majors, as well as students aiming at graduate school or medical professional fields. Prerequisite: CE-242 Corequisite: CE-333L
