| Objectives of the Course | |||||
| Biochemistry is the study of the molecules of life and centers on four key groups of biomolecules: proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and nucleic acids. Students will learn about the structure and function of these key biomolecules, the mechanics by which the cellular machinery is supplied with energy, and how the genetic material is converted to functional information. Students will also learn the techniques of recombinant DNA technology and bioinformatics that have profoundly changed how we study and use cell functions. | |||||
