Chemistry 392 - Metabolic Biochemistry

Institution:

Reed College

Subject:

Description:

One-half course for one semester. An exploration of the regulatory interrelationships among the numerous catalytic activities found in living cells with the goal of learning how and why cells molecularly maintain homeostasis. This will be accomplished by a detailed analysis of carbohydrate metabolism and its associated regulatory proteins (primarily enzymes) and related pathways. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the underlying thermodynamic and kinetic bases of energy metabolism and its regulation. Other related topics may include a survey of crucial biosynthetic and catabolic pathways, conservation of mechanism in catalyses of diverse reactions, supermolecular organization and channeling of metabolites, recent developments in understanding nitrogen metabolism, and the mechanism of ATP synthesis. Prerequisites: Chemistry 201/202 and 391, or consent of the instructor. Lecture-conference.
