ANP6121:Biochemistry

This course of Biochemistry 1 is part of the module of Biochemistry which is made of three components: Biochemistry 1, Biochemistry 2 and Laboratory training. 

The component of Biochemistry 1 will focus on area below:

Elements of Cellular and Molecular Biology:

Building upon concepts introduced in Biology, consideration is given to structure and function at the cellular, subcellular, and molecular levels. Equally divided between aspects of molecular biology and cellular biology

Structural Biochemistry:

This chapter is intended to offer an introduction to the world of Biochemistry. It deals with the structure, properties, and significance of the major groups of biochemical compounds (amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids and Lipids). Related areas such as pH and buffers will also be discussed and typical procedures for investigation of these materials will be performed in the laboratory. Structure and function of biological molecules, especially proteins, lipids and carbohydrates.

The course will be delivered through various lectures, assignments to enforce students learning and critical thinking as well as presentations to be made by students in order to enhance their skills in presentations and scientific communication/discussion. 

Enjoy the course!
