1. |
Outline |
|
Biochemistry is the science to understand life from the perspective of chemistry. There are a huge number of substances in a living organism and the life is maintained by many interactions of these substances. This course deals with the followings:
(1) The properties and roles of the selected significant substances. (2) The process of energy production. (3) The metabolism of a varieties of compounds.
|
2. |
Objectives |
|
The goals of this course are to understand the followings:
(1) The properties of carbohydrates, amino acids, lipids, nucleic acids, mineral, and vitamins. (2) The mechanism of energy production. (3) The metabolic pass ways of some important compounds.
