NS 3200
Introduction to Human Biochemistry

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.

Presents the principles of biochemistry within the context of human health and disease. Teaches the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and selected micronutrients from a perspective that emphasizes their role in supporting the structure and physiological functions of the major organs of the body. Incorporates the concepts of enzyme catalysis, enzyme regulation, hormone action, and bioenergetics within this framework. Covers he fundamental concepts of eukaryotic DNA structure, function, and gene expression with reference to their importance in regulating metabolism and the impact of a changing nutrient environment.

When Offered Fall.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: one year college biology; one year college general chemistry; and CHEM 1570 or CHEM 3570-CHEM 3580; or permission of instructor.
