BIO303 : Biochemistry II

Course Overview

Course Synopsis

The BIOCHEMSITRY-2 course mainly focuses on the metabolic aspects of four major building blocks of life e.g. The sugars, amino acids, fatty acids and nucelotides and the biosynthetic pathways which lead to synthesize the macromolecules from them e.g. Carbhohydrates, Proteins, Lipids and Nuceleic acids.In this all important course, we study the chemical reactions that provide the cell with both, the energy as well as raw materials necessary of life.

Course Learning Outcomes

Biochemistry-II

  • Biochemistry-2 deals with study of the metabolism of major building blocks of life. The students who take this course will become familiar with the fundamental energy yielding and biosynthetic pathways i.e. Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, Pentose phosphate shunt, Gluconeogenesis and Urea cycle etc. Because all these pathways deals with the human physiology, the students of this course will also become familiar with important and critical metabolic disorders which arise because of malfunctioning of these pathways. In this way, this course is considered both as a basic as well as applied biochemistry course.
