BCH 361

Advanced Biochemistry I

A course in the principles of enzymology, bioenergetics and carbohydrate metabolism. Enzymology topics include the structure, function and regulation of enzymes and Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The fundamentals of bioenergetics and intermediary metabolism are discussed in the context of the integration and control of catabolism and anabolism. The course concludes with a detailed examination of carbohydrate chemistry with emphasis on the chemical logic and the regulation of these pathways. The laboratory introduces students to more advanced biochemical techniques. Topics include the isolation and characterization of polysaccharides and the kinetic analysis of enzymes.
