BIO 349 Biochemistry I

This course explores the roles of the essential biological macromolecules focusing on proteins while covering lipids carbohydrates and nucleic acids. Topics include the structure and function of these macromolecules as well as an investigation of the biochemical methods used to study them. Also included are topics covering proteomics DNA-based information technologies biosignaling and an introduction to enzyme kinetics. This course is the first in a two-semester sequence of Biochemistry classes (with CHEM 350) that is required for Biochemistry majors. For a one semester Biochemistry class see BIO 322.
