CHEM 323 - Foundations of Biochemistry

(3)
Designed to approach the fundamentals of biochemistry from a chemical perspective, this course examines the structure and function of biological systems such as proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids; develops an understanding of the kinetics of biological reactions including metabolism and enzyme catalysis. It expands the study of biological equilibria and thermodynamics through the discussion of the properties of aqueous solutions, thermodynamics of enzyme binding and recognition, and oxidation and reduction processes. Prerequisites: CHEM 232, 233. Fall.
