Course Objective

To have a comprehensive understanding of biochemistry and molecular biology. The nature of the major macromolecules will be discussed with particular focus on: proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids. Their molecular structure, chemical reactions, and practical methods in characterization will be discussed. Students will also learn how to interpret experimental molecular biochemistry results and devise new experiments.
