The course covers basic concepts in biochemistry as well as biochemistry in health and disease. Biochemistry includes a study of protein structure and their physical properties; how these properties relate to catalysis, regulation of catalysis and metabolic chemistry, as well as a general understanding of the role of DNA in inheritance, genetic manipulation and gene therapy. This course includes group discussions, primary literature searches and presentations, clinical case study review and web-based assignments. This course does not have a laboratory component. Prerequisites: BIO 120, CHE 380, and at least one other 200-level or higher course in Biology.
