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
|
In this course, various methods and techniques will be employed to effectively teach topics in metabolic biochemistry. Lectures, multimedia-supported presentations, and interactive discussions will be used to deliver theoretical content. To help students better understand metabolic pathways, case studies, group work, and problem-based learning (PBL) approaches will be implemented. Additionally, the use of metabolic maps, modeling, and the examination of current scientific literature will be encouraged to promote a molecular-level understanding of biochemical processes. To reinforce the knowledge gained, assessment methods such as quizzes, assignments, and term projects will be utilized.
