A first course in biochemistry dealing with the classification, function, and chemistry of proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids and the smaller molecules from which they are derived. Conformational properties of biomolecules, enzyme kinetics and mechanisms, allosterism and cooperativity are surveyed. Prerequisite: two academic terms of organic chemistry. Corequisite: BCH 3033L.

BCH 3034 Biochemistry II . . . . . 4(3,3)

A continuation of BCH 3033. Topics include lipid and membrane structure, and the energetics of biological systems. Emphases are placed on intermediary metabolism, its integration and control. Prerequisite: BCH 3033. Corequisite: BCH 3034L.
