MACROMOLECULAR CHEMICAL BIOLOGY

CHEM 845

Critically read, analyze and discuss the primary literature in chemical biology by focusing on topics associated with macromolecules (largely proteins and nucleic acids).

GENERAL BIOCHEMISTRY I

BIOCHEM 507

Chemistry of biological materials, intermediary metabolism and protein structure.

SURVEY OF BIOCHEMISTRY

BIOCHEM 301

Explore the basic chemical properties of proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. Topics to be discussed include protein structure and function, the chemical logic of metabolism, and the mechanisms of DNA replication, DNA transcription, DNA repair, and gene expression. Understand principles and themes in biochemistry that relate to metabolic diseases, drug design, virus infection and vaccination, and gene therapy. Does not cover the foundational material necessary to succeed in additional biochemistry coursework, and is not likely to be acceptable for medical or veterinary school admission.

GENERAL BIOCHEMISTRY II

BIOCHEM 508

Biosynthesis of biological molecules, signal transduction mechanisms, chemistry and metabolism of nucleic acids, protein synthesis, and molecular and cellular biology.
