STRUCTURE & FUNCTION OF PROTEINS, MEMBRANES & CARBOHYDRATES AND FAST KINETICS.

Catalog description

This is a one-semester course that extends fundamental concepts in chemistry, such as kinetic phenomena and thermodynamics into an exploration of biology. The content includes structure and function of proteins and membranes, and catalysis of biological reactions through: 1) applying equilibrium processes to study biochemical reactions 2) analyzing the kinetic parameters of enzymes that cause disease states as well as exploration of how drugs are used to inhibit enzymes.
