| CHEM 301 - Biochemistry I |
|
A study of the chemical aspects of biological activity emphasizing the structure and function of carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, amino acids and proteins. Topics include the study of protein function, enzymes and bioenergetics and how they relate to the intermediary metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. 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 cellular and molecular logic of living organisms. Note: Students may not receive credit for both this course and CHEM 300 Principles of Biochemistry. Students are required to enroll in the corresponding laboratory (4 hours).
Prerequisites: BIOL 130 Principles of Biology or BIOL 161 Introduction to Cell and Molecular Biology; and completion of CHEM 208 Organic Chemistry II with a minimum grade of C- (1.70).
