Biochemistry II - Metabolism

3 credits

This course will present the bioenergetic principles, enzyme mechanisms and regulation of the central metabolic pathways. Topics include glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, pentose phosphate pathway, the citric acid cycle, metabolic regulation of glucose and glycogen metabolism, the urea cycle, oxidative phosphorylation and photosynthesis. The laboratory experiments will demonstrate metabolic principles. ***Prerequisite: BIOC 220 and CHEM 140*** *Note: BIOC 221 replaces BIOC 320 and students cannot receive credit for both.*
