An introduction to biochemical principles as they relate to major biological
themes such as the relationship between cellular structure and function,
metabolism, thermodynamics, regulation, information pathways, and
evolution. BIOL 366 is cross-listed with CHEM 361.
Prerequisites: Bioinformatics majors: CHEM 224 or CHEM 222 or (CHEM 240 pre-req and CHEM 260 co-req); All other majors: BIOL 251 & CHEM 224 or CHEM 222 or (CHEM 240 pre-req and CHEM 260 co-req).
Outcomes: Students will study the basic concepts of biochemistry and will understand how thermodynamics govern biochemical processes; Catalytic strategies, as well as the major pathways of both anabolism and catabolism, will also be learned.
