LS4207 | Applied and Clinical Biochemistry | Rupak Datta, Supratim Datta |
Preamble |
---|
This course designed to provide undergraduate students with an introduction to how nature transforms and manipulate biologically relevant molecules. We will start by introducing the fundamentals of enzyme-catalyzed reactions, especially as they apply to large-scale production of small molecules. Examples on how proteins are engineered will be discussed through lectures and student presentations. The last part of the course will focus on understanding the clinical aspects of major metabolic pathways.
