Biochemistry
About This Course
The students will acquire the knowledge of the core biochemical components and metabolic processes of living things and skills for performing biochemical assays. The names, structures and functions of biomolecules are discussed in relation to one another. The role of enzyme catalysis in regulating biochemical reactions will be covered. Major metabolic pathways such as glycolysis and citric acid cycle will be examined in the role of generating biological energy. Practical skills, such as measurement of solutions and chemicals, performing colorimetric assays, and analysis of experimental data will be taught.
