Understand the biochemistry plant defence mechanism, Identify the toxic compounds in plants, Describe the kinetics and characterisation of enzymes, Identify the detoxification mechanisms. To provide education that leads to comprehensive understanding of the principles and practices of biochemistry.
In this course, students will extend their knowledge of biochemistry fundamentals and will learn about the significance of biochemistry and important metabolic processes taking place in plants. Acquire a detailed knowledge about the chemistry of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and amino acids and their classification, structural organization of proteins, metabolism of saccharides, lipids. The students get acquainted with the widely used techniques in plant biochemistry like qualitative and quantitative tests for the important biomolecules.
Course Syllabus:
Theory:
Importance of Biochemistry. Properties of Water, pH and Buffer. Carbohydrate: Importance and classification. Structures of Monosaccharides, Reducing and oxidizing properties of Monosaccharides, Mutarotation; Structure of Disaccharides and Poly saccharides. Lipid: Importance and classification; Structures and properties of fatty acids; storage lipids and membrane lipids. Proteins: Importance of proteins and classification; Structures, titration and zwitterions nature of amino acids; Structural organization of proteins. Enzymes: General properties; Classification; Mechanism of action; Michaelis & Menten and Line Weaver Burk equation & plots; Introduction to allosteric enzymes. Nucleic acids: Importance and classification; Structure of Nucleotides, A, B & Z DNA; RNA: Types and Secondary & Tertiary structure. Metabolism of carbohydrates: Glycolysis, TCA cycle, Glyoxylate cycle, Electron transport chain. Metabolism of lipids: Beta oxidation, Biosynthesis of fatty acids.
