Course Objectives
At the completion of this course students will be able to:
1. Analyze the main components and side chains unique to proteins, nucleic acids,
lipids, and carbohydrates and evaluate how they relate to cellular structure, cell
signaling, metabolism.
2. Discover the role and regulation of proteins, nucleic acids, lipids and carbohydrates
in physiological and pathological conditions.
3. Describe how enzymes facilitate chemical reactions and be able to assign how the
rate of these enzymes is controlled by the cellular environment.
4
4. Dissect the processes for the breakdown of sugar (glycolysis and the citric acid cycle)
and be able to link together how that leads to energy (ATP) production.
5. Assess fat (lipid) metabolism and examine of how your body uses this to generate
membranes and store energy for later use.
6. Decipher gene expression, protein translation, and their relevant cellular functions.
Diagnose how external environmental cues can affect gene expression.
7. Combine all the knowledge taught in this course to correlate how the central dogma
of biochemistry leads from DNA to RNA to Protein to all the metabolic functions in
the body
