Biological Chemistry

3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

This course discusses the structure and function of cells in molecular terms. The primary focus of the course will be: (1) protein conformation, dynamics, and function; (2) generation and storage of metabolic energy; and (3) molecular aspects of selected physiological processes. The course includes three lecture hours. The accompanying laboratory course ( BIOL 1511 : Biological Chemistry Laboratory) is required for all Biology, Neurobiology, Biology of Global Health, and Environmental Biology majors. Students taking this lecture course as a requirement for other majors or to fulfill pre-health requirements outside of major requirements should check with their advisors if the laboratory course is required for them. Enrollment in the laboratory course requires co-enrollment in or prior completion of this lecture course.
