CHEM 3323 - Biochemistry II

3 Credit(s)

This course continues the study of biochemistry topics initiated in introductory biochemistry courses. This course broadly focuses on two areas: metabolism, and then information flow and usage in the cell. Key topics covered are lipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism, nucleic acid metabolism, metabolic integration, photosynthesis, DNA replication, transcription, the genetic code, translation, and protein degradation. Topics are presented in a “flipped classroom” style wherein students will be assigned material prior to class time. This material may be reading, worksheets, recorded lectures, or problem and question sets. Class time will be used for discussion, data analysis, and working on problems.
