Courses

Molecular Biology (Bio221).  This course focuses on understanding the processes in a cell at a molecular level that transfer information from genetic information through the expression of functional proteins. Topics include: Basic structure of DNA RNA and Proteins; gene structure; chromosomal organization; genomic structure and organization; DNA replication; transcription translation and processing of gene products; molecular regulation of gene expression mechanisms in prokaryotes and eukaryotes; regulatory and catalytic RNA including siRNA and miRNA; and the techniques to study these processes.

Principles of Biochemistry (Bio322).  Survey of the basic principles that power biological processes in all living organisms. Includes introduction to biochemical techniques enzyme structure and function intermediary metabolism synthesis and degradation of biological macromolecules information transfer and a concept-driven integration of these subjects into a biological context.

Biochemistry I (Bio349).  This course explores the roles of the essential biological macromolecules focusing on proteins while covering lipids carbohydrates and nucleic acids. Topics include the structure and function of these macromolecules as well as an investigation of the biochemical methods used to study them. Also included are topics covering proteomics DNA-based information technologies biosignaling and an introduction to enzyme kinetics.
