Objectives of the Course
|
1. Engagement in the detailed exploration of biological macromolecule structure and function with emphasis on the mechanisms of protein/ligand binding, metabolic pathways and regulatory enzyme mechanisms
2. To introduce students the fundamental principles of basic biosynthesis pathways of amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins as well as protein synthesis mechanisms and DNA repair.
3. To elucidate the metabolic processes and flow of energy in living organisms
|
|
Course Content
|
This course will concentrate on metabolic biochemistry: the investigation of metabolic responses that furnish the cell with the energy and crude materials fundamental for life. Understudies will look at the digestion of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and nucleotides as well as the macromolecular machines that synthesize carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. Therapeutic relationships are strengthened throughout the course.

Course Methods and Techniques
|
This is also a student-driven course. It is your responsibility to participate actively in class discussions. You are not graded on whether you agree or disagree with the instructor or with each other. Evaluation of class participation will be based on your ability to rise and answer important issues, to contribute ideas or insights, to build upon the ideas of others, ask questions to presenters, etc.
By actively participating in the class discussions, you can sharpen your insights, and those of your classmates.
Both the quality and frequency of your participation will count towards your active participation grade. Please note that high-quality or relevant contribution will earn you a higher participation grade than frequent but insignificant contribution. Also, you will not get any class participation points for just being present in class. Class attendance is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for scoring highly on the class participation.
