BCH 452 - Biochemistry II

3 Credit(s)

This is the second course in a two-semester sequence in the fundamentals of biochemistry. Major goals are (1) to introduce the language of biochemistry and (2) to provide an understanding of the physical, chemical, and biological context in which biochemistry takes place. The course covers bioenergetics and intermediate metabolism: glycolysis, the TCA Cycle, electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation, photosynthesis, glucose and glycogen metabolism, fatty acid catabolism, lipid biosynthesis, amino acid metabolism, and the synthesis and degradation of nucleotides.
3 hours lecture.
