BIOL 490 Advanced Biochemistry
(3-0-3) This course will acquaint the student with the major macromolecular constituents of the cell, the various chemical, biochemical, and molecular techniques that are used to isolate and study these macromolecules and the flow of information implicit in their sequence and structure, and the research analytical techniques exemplified in the primary scientific literature. There will be a further investigation of the biochemical, physiological, and systems level perspective of organismal function and pathology. Many of these investigations will further involve pharmacological agents and other remedies used in treatments of human diseases.
