CHEM328: Biochemistry II with Lab

The second half of a one-year sequence intended for Biological Chemistry majors and others who want an in-depth introduction to biochemistry. It focuses on the interactions between biomolecules and macromolecular assemblies to study the mechanism of action and regulation of different functional biological systems with special emphasis on enzymes. We will revisit many concepts that were covered in Chem221 and apply them to tackle specific biochemical problems. We study variuos examples of structure-function relationship in different areas of biochemistry. This second half of the one-year course sequence is divided into three units: Ligand Binding, Enzyme Kinetics, and Metabolic Pathways central to the life of cells and organisms. In this course We also pay particular attention to experimental methods used to study these systems with examples from current published literature.
