Course Description
This course explores the roles of essential biological molecules such as amino acids, nucleotides, vitamins and so forth. Subsequently, the course targets investigating macro structures formed of basic biological molecules. Students will examine the structure of proteins and nucleic acids in association with their function, their binding to other molecules. In addition, numerous cellular events linked to nucleic acids will be covered in detail. Also, the course aims giving insight to metabolism. Accordingly, principles of carbohydrate metabolism are examined from thermodynamic and regulatory perspectives
