BIOCHEMISTRY(2)

Biochemistry(2) is a second semester of the undergraduate series, which provides students with an introduction to biochemistry at the advanced undergraduate level. Biochemistry(2) introduces basic biochemistry concepts including protein synthesis, nucleic acid biotechnology technique, carbohydrates, glycolysis and carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.

To provide students with basic principles of Biochemistry.

Teaching will be done in English. Lecture notes in English will be posted on the CTL.

Lecture notes will be posted on CTL. These notes are based on the textbook, so most of the figures and information they contain can also be found in textbook. These notes contain most figures discussed during lecture and are designed to aid students' note taking during lecture and while reading the text. It is highly recommended that students print these lecture notes and read the assigned reading in the text prior to lecture, taking notes while they read. Then bring the notes to lectures to help fill in areas that were confusing when they first read them in the text.

At the conclusion of this course, successful students will be able to familiarize with the major aspects of biochemistry. For students in natural science fields, studying biochemistry is especially important for those who hope to enter a career in drug discovery and some form of biotechnology.
