This course introduces the basic concepts in biochemistry with a focus on structure and function of carbohydrates, proteins, hormones, and lipids. It establishes the biochemical basis for cell structure, cellular metabolism, disease, drug function, and genetic information flow in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Common metabolic pathways of drugs, enzyme induction, and metabolic regulation are presented. Offered: Fall semester. Credits 3. 3 Lecture Hours.
