Biochemistry for Biosciences

(2 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

The aim is to provide Junior Sophister students of other disciplines with the grounding in biochemistry necessary to (i) understand biology at a molecular level, (ii) form a mechanistic view of biological processes and (iii) appreciate the pathobiochemical basis of disease. The module covers four major themes in biochemistry: Proteins and Nucleic Acids , Membranes, Cytoskeleton and Signalling. The module will be assessed through a combination of in course assessment and an individual end of term exam.
