Course Contents
Introduction to biochemistry; water, pH, buffers, and biochemical composition of cells; carbohydrates - structure and classification; proteins - overview with emphasis on their composition and structure, classification and function; lipids - structure, classification and biological significance; enzymes - properties, nomenclature, classification, and factors affecting enzyme activity including inhibitors and potentiators, basic kinetics, derivation of Km and Vmax; coenzymes and vitamins; nucleic acids - structure and function.
PRACTICALS
Preparation of laboratory solutions and pH determination; qualitative and quantitative tests for carbohydrates, proteins and lipids; enzyme assays and the effect of pH, temperature and substrate concentration on enzyme activity.
Course Synopsis
This course aims to provide students with fundamental knowledge of the molecules of life, as well as their function in the context of a living cell.
Course Learning Outcomes
Students will be familiarized with the basic concepts of biochemistry. the fundamental biomolecules, their structures, function interactions and their role in maintaining the life.
The fundamental concepts will lay the foundation for students to make their concepts clear. After having this course students will be able to understand the metabolic pathways of life and their interactions.
