Students will study the mechanisms of gene expression, protein synthesis, and signal transduction including enzymology within living organisms. Since the lecture includes the practice session, students will confirm their own degrees of understanding. In this lecture, students will acquire knowledge and train comprehensive thinking skill on DP1 and DP2.
Biochemistry is the study of chemical and biological processes within living organisms. The goal of this lecture is to understand the structure and function of the organic chemicals that constitute living organisms. Students can describe the technical terms learned in each lecture. In addition, they can combine their knowledge and solve the exercises given in each lecture.
Evaluation is conducted on regular examination results. A score of 60% or more is passed. Regular examination can be taken regardless of attendance rate, but students with attendance rates of less than 60% (less than 9 courses) will not qualify for re-examination. After the examination, I will explain some of its contents.
