Description:

An introductory course focusing on the various types of molecules found in living systems and the ways they function and interact in both normal and abnormal cellular metabolism. Topics include genetic and enzymatic regulation of metabolic processes, energy capture and transformation, and a series of case studies dealing with the biochemical basis of metabolic disorders. We will also compare and contrast the treatment of scientific issues in the popular press with that found in the scientific literature. The course is intended to provide students with a basic understanding of some of the principles and methodology of modern biology, and to develop their ability to distinguish between legitimate science and pseudoscience.
