Biochemistry II

Course Description

A continuation of CHE 360. This course concentrates on the principles of cellular regulatory processes and synthesis of biological molecules.

Learning Outcomes

• Explain how the metabolism of glucose leads ultimately to the generation of large quantities of ATP.
• Describe how fats and amino acids are metabolized, and explain how they can be used for fuel.
• Describe the structure of DNA, and explain how it carries genetic information in its base sequence.
• Describe DNA replication.
• Describe RNA and protein synthesis.
• Explain how protein synthesis can be controlled at the level of transcription and translation.
• Explain how the catabolism and anabolism of biomolecules are regulated.
