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.
You can acquire knowledge and ability of DP1 and DP2.
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.
Grading will be decided based on term-end examination.
