Science - Course - Principles of Biochemistry

An Introduction to basic principle of biochemistry emphasizing on the broad understanding of the structure and function of biomolecules. In addition, topics related to Metabolism of macromolecules through energyproducing pathways such as glycolysis, the TCA cycle, oxidative phosphorylation and fatty acid oxidation; and biosynthetic pathways–gluconeogenesis, glycogen synthesis, and fatty acid biosynthesis. Nitrogen metabolism, urea cycle, amino acid metabolism, nucleotide metabolism, and. Regulation of carbohydrates, lipid and protein metabolism will be discussed. Pre-req.: CHEM 234.
