BCHM 3100K - Biochemistry with Laboratory

(4) Credit Hours
Prerequisite: CHEM 2212K or (CHEM 2211K and BIOL 3400K ) or (CHEM 2211K and ISCI 3800 ) or (CHEM 2211K and BIOL3330K)
A study of the structure and function of biological molecules, enzymology, metabolism and bioenergetics. Upon completion of this course, students will: (1) describe the three dimensional structural and functional relationship of proteins; (2) trace intermediary metabolism from macromolecules to carbon dioxide including both anabolic and catabolic reactions of glucose; (3) explain enzymatic catalysis with regard to mechanism and kinetics; (4) explain the structure and function of major classes of macromolecules; (5) use technological resources to investigate biochemical problems; (6) apply the scientific method to address hypothetical problems.
