| Aim | It is aimed to strengthen the basic biochemistry knowledge of 2 nd year students in this course, which is going to be taken in Spring. We will start the course by focusing on the structure and properties of water which is one of the important molecules that form organisms. The acid/base character of amino acids along with the structure, function, and purification methods of proteins will also be studied. This will be followed by considering the structure and function of enzyme as well as their regulation. Subsequently, the mechanism of a enzyme-ligand complex will be focused on the basis of allostery and cooperatively phenomena. Finally, some selected hot topics in the field of biochemistry will be discussed interactively with the students. |
| Course Content | This course contains; Molecular Interactions in a Biological Context Introduction to Biochemistry,Overview of Energy and Metabolism,Carbohydrates,Glycogen Metabolism,Glycolysis,Citric Acid Cycle,Electron Transfer Chain and Oxidative Phosphorylation,Enzyme Reactions,Lipids,Lipid Metabolism,Amino Acids,Protein Structure,Fibrous Proteins,Globular Proteins. |
