BIOL 441 Biochemistry
This course examines the chemistry of life and is organized in two fundamental parts. At the beginning it explores the structure and function of biological molecules, from proteins to lipids and carbohydrates, with emphasis on bioenergetics and biological catalysis. The second part will focus on metabolic pathways as interacting regulated systems and signal transduction. As a last topic, we will explore cancer and DNA repair mechanisms. Clinical correlations will be emphasized throughout the course and case studies will be presented to connect the material with other areas of biology. Three-hour lecture and one-and-a-half-hour recitation.
