PHBM 350 - Bioch -Peptides/Metabolism

Institution:

Duquesne University

Subject:

PHBM - Pharm Biomedical Sci

Description:

This course provides a foundation in general biochemical concepts and serves as a background for subsequent discussions of drug mechanisms and disease processes. Specifically, it focuses on two major areas: (1) proteins and enzymes, and (2) metabolic pathways and concepts. In the first half of the course, basic chemical concepts, amino acid chemistry, the structure and function of proteins, and enzyme kinetics and mechanisms are discussed. The second half of the course covers the fundamentals and design of metabolism as well as central pathways for carbohydrate, amino acid, and fatty acid metabolism. Principles of nutrition are discussed within the context of these metabolic pathways. The laboratory portion of the course (355L) covers protein structure and function, enzyme assays, and carbohydrate structure and chemistry.
