Course Objectives and Philosophy This course is designed to impart a fundamental
understanding of protein structure, mechanisms of enzyme catalysis and
regulation, enzyme kinetics, and the theory behind many biochemical
laboratory procedures involving proteins. Proteins are the main focus of the
course; however, basic information regarding lipids, carbohydrates, and
nucleic acids will be discussed. The information in this course is required
for understanding metabolic processes covered in BL4020. As your professor, I will endeavor to
assist your understanding as much as possible; however, the primary
responsibility for learning and understanding the material in this course is
yours. I will use a mixed format of lecture and discussion in this course. We
will cover material not in the text. Evening review sessions will be offered
before exams. Please see me if you are having difficulty. |
