CHEM351

A comprehensive introduction to the chemistry of the major classes of biological molecules (nucleic acids, proteins, lipids and carbohydrates) including their structure, function, properties and reactivity. This includes examining how enzymes catalyze reactions, how biomolecules interact and react, and the thermodynamics that govern cellular processes. The underlying chemistry (thermodynamics, kinetics, equilibrium, and mechanisms) involved in these processes will be closely examined.
