| CHEM 301 - Biochemistry I |
|
A study of the physico-chemical aspects of biological activity; the chemistry of carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, amino acids and proteins, kinetics and enzymes; bioenergetics; coenzymes; and intermediary metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and nitrogen-containing materials such as amino acids, proteins and related compounds, and photosynthesis. The underlying theme of this course is not merely a cataloging of the structure and metabolism of biological compounds, but rather is an understanding of the cell molecular logic of living organisms. Laboratory (4 hours).
Prerequisites: BIOL 101 Biological Concepts or BIOL 161 Introduction to Cell and Molecular Biology and completion of CHEM 207 Organic Chemistry I with a minimum grade of C- (1.70). Completion of CHEM 208 Organic Chemistry II is strongly recommended.
