Course Name : Basic Biochemistry

Code(Credit) : CUTM2604(3-2-0)

Course Objectives

  • Biochemistry is the study of biological phenomena at the molecular level.
  • Its aim is to understand the fundamental chemical principles that govern complex biological systems.
  • The program is an interdepartmental major between biology and chemistry that emphasizes the importance of a solid foundation in the natural sciences.
  • The major focuses, however, on disciplines within biology and chemistry, ranging from cell biology and molecular biology to analytical chemistry and physical chemistry.

Learning Outcomes

  • Biochemistry helps in clinical diagnosis, understanding pathology of diseases, treatment of diseases, designing of drugs and understanding their metabolism and manufacture of various biological products like amino acids, proteins, antibiotics, hormones, enzymes, nutrients, etc.
  • It is expected that the students become conversant with the Fundamentals of Biochemistry which can be applied in clinical diagnosis of the metabolic disorders.
