BMB 360 - Biochemistry for Molecular and Biomedical Sciences


The first major goal of BMB 360 is for students to gain an understanding of the fundamental concepts of biochemistry: properties of the key biomolecules (proteins, enzymes, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids, and their building blocks) and concepts of metabolism and energy production.  The second major goal of the course is for students to strengthen their quantitative and analytical problem-solving skills; students will solve many biochemical problems in this class.  BMB 360 is geared toward the educational background and future needs of students majoring in Biochemistry, Microbiology, or Molecular and Cellular Biology. BMB 360 and BMB 322 cannot both be taken for credit.

Prerequisites: CHY 251 and Biochemistry or Microbiology or Molecular and Cellular Biology Major
