Metabolic Biochemistry

Catalog description

This course focuses on understanding the major pathways of carbohydrate, lipid, and nitrogen metabolism, and integration and control of these pathways-with a special emphasis on human health and disease. Other topics covered include transport across membranes, cellular-signal transduction, photosynthesis, and carbon fixation. Prerequisite(s): (CHM 25600 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF C OR CHM 26605 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF C) AND CHM 33300 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF C Course Learning Outcomes 1. Identify the molecules involved in biochemical metabolic pathways. 2. Recognize rate-regulatory steps in biochemical metabolic pathways. 3.
