BIOL 3410 Biochemistry

The course formulates the association between the inert world of chemistry and the living world of biology. This course explores the chemistry, structure, and function of biochemical macromolecules. Mechanisms of enzyme action, biosynthesis of biological molecules, metabolic pathways/regulatory mechanisms, protein synthesis, and cellular biology are covered in detail. This course also discusses why diseases occur when normal cellular processes are disrupted and various new biological technologies whose roots are in biochemistry. The laboratory will focus on competency in performing basic biochemical techniques through successful application of modern technologies and analyzing data.
