CHM 33900 - Biochemistry: A Molecular Approach
Credit Hours: 3.00. CHM 33900 is a comprehensive one-semester biochemistry course that emphasizes molecules and molecular reaction mechanisms, building upon the principles conveyed in general chemistry and organic chemistry. This course is designed to cover the essential elements of biochemistry traditionally covered in a two semester series. Topics to be covered include: Amino acids, peptides and proteins, molecular models and structure-function relationships, enzymes, enzyme kinetics and enzyme mechanisms, carbohydrates and carbohydrate metabolism, aerobic metabolism, lipids and membranes, lipid metabolism, nitrogen metabolism and integration and
regulation of metabolism. Special emphasis will be placed on connections between biochemical
principles and the fields of medicine, human health and disease, nutrition and biotechnology.
This course should serve as excellent preparation for higher-level biochemistry courses as well
as standardized pre-health professional exams. CHM 33900 was designed as the 4lh semester
of the 1-2-1 competency-based curriculum transformation in chemistry as it applies to pre-health
professional and life science students at Purdue. However, this course is open to other students who meet the prerequisites. Typically offered Spring.
