BIOL 320 - Biochemistry

Institution:

Point Park University

Subject:

BIOLOGY

Description:

This course addresses the aspects of enzyme kinetics that govern cellular reactions. Topics also include protein structure and function, generation of metabolic energy, biosynthesis of macromolecules, processing of information, and membrane transport. The information is then integrated in terms of overall metabolism and mutations that result in metabolic diseases. Dual listed as CHEM 320. Prerequisite: CHEM 221. Course Objectives Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: (1) Recognize the structure and function of the major classes of cellular molecules (2) Focus on the regulation of metabolic, synthetic, and catabolic reactions of cells (3) Integrate the regulation of reactions in cells with the hormonal network that controls the timing and expression of enzyme pathways (4) Localize the reactions within the cellular compartments
