BCHM 36100 - Molecules
Credit Hours: 3.00. A lecture course that relates biochemistry to organic chemistry. Chemical principles relevant to the assembly and function of macromolecules, the logic of biological free energy conversion, and enzyme catalysis are emphasized, all of which provide a foundation for the study of metabolism.
Learning Outcomes
1. Describe the chemical structures of the building blocks of biological macromolecules, including amino acids, nucleotides, sugars and fatty acids.
2. Demonstrate knowledge of the higher order structures of proteins, nucleic acids and polysaccharides.
3. Understand the principles of enzyme catalysis and regulation.
4. Demonstrate knowledge of lipid membrane structure and function.
5. Understand how energy is harvested and utilized by biological systems.
6. Demonstrate knowledge of analytical and preparative methods that can be applied to biochemistry.
7. Understand the contributions of the discipline to society, including improvements to medicine, agriculture, the economy and the environment.
