Topics to be examined in this course include the structure and function of biomolecules, including carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, proteins, and "high energy" phosphate compounds (emphasizing the inter-relationship of structure and function); mechanisms and kinetics of enzyme-catalyzed reactions; membrane transport; and bioenergetics. Note: CHEM-2202 may be used as a corequisite provided that a minimum grade of B was obtained in CHEM-1111 and CHEM-1112. Restrictions: Students may not hold credit for this course and CHEM-3501.
Prerequisites
CHEM-1111 and CHEM-1112 and CHEM-2202 and BIOL-1115 (prerequisite) CHEM-3502L (lab) (must be taken concurrently).
