BIF324 - Biochemistry
Faculty : Computer Science and Information Technology Programs
School : Program of Bioinformatics
Prerequisit Course : No Pre-Requisit Courses
Credit Hours : 3.00
Offered For : Under Graduate
Course Description :
Fundamental concepts in biochemistry and molecular biology will be covered in this course. These concepts include structure function relationships, reactivity, thermodynamics, gene expression. The function of biochemical macromolecules will be directly related to their structure. In addition, the three-dimensional structures of proteins, nucleic acids, polysaccharides and membranes are each explored in the context of their functions and their microenvironments within living organisms. The course also covers the DNA replication and the RNA and protein synthesis. The course also explains how protein synthesis can be controlled at the level of transcription and translation, and summarizes what is currently known about the biochemical basis of cancer.
