Requisites: Declared in Doctor of Pharmacy program Course Designation: Grad 50% - Counts toward 50% graduate coursework requirement Repeatable for Credit: No Last Taught: Fall 2026 Learning Outcomes: 1. Deduce aspects of protein structure and catalysis from kinetics and other data Audience: Graduate 2. Summarize how nucleic acids are used to store information in living organisms, including the molecular mechanisms for replication and protein expression Audience: Graduate 3. Apply knowledge of the pathways by which energy is derived from fats and carbohydrates to both the clinical progression of diabetes and its treatment Audience: Graduate 4. Differentiate between the different methods of biosignaling, in terms of whether energy is required and whether molecules are physically moved through membrane barriers Audience: Graduate 5. Integrate understanding of biochemical systems and the ways that drugs are able to target them to therapeutic effect Audience: Graduate Learning Outcomes: 1.
