| BC 367- Biochemistry of the Cell I
Instructors:
Julie T. Millard, Dorros Professor of Life Sciences
Brenda L. Fekete, Senior Teaching Associate |
 The molecules that we will discuss this semester tend to be quite large and complex. Shown here is hemoglobin, the vertebrate oxygen-carrying protein of the bloodstream. |
| Course Objectives
We will focus on the biological molecules, chemical reactions, and regulatory processes that are essential to the functioning of the cell. Topics include the structures and functions of the major classes of biological molecules (proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and lipids) and enzyme kinetics and mechanisms. Attendance Policy Attendance at every class meeting and laboratory session is mandatory. Unexcused absences from class will result in a reduction of your grade (at our discretion). Even one unexcused absence from laboratory will result in your dismissal from the course. Please keep in mind that only your instructors can determine what constitutes an excused absence for this course. |
