Overview
Learn about the important building blocks of life including: Amino acids, proteins, sugars, polysaccharides, lipids, enzymes, vitamins, homones, RNA and DNA. This Biochemistry II course from Warnborough College focuses on biochemical molecules. Students would normally have completed Plant or Animal Biochemistry I, before attempting this module.
Aims
- Learn the characteristics of biochemical molecules and to distinguish between different groups of biochemical molecules
- Describe the structural characteristics and other properties that differentiate standard amino acids one from another
- Learn about the structures of different proteins (both covalent and 3-dimensional)
- Describe common protein dynamics including folding, structural evolution and haemoglobin function
- Describe the structure and dynamics of different types of saccharides and polysaccharides
- Understand the composition and structure of both lipids and membranes
- Describe the structure and dynamics of different types of enzymes, vitamins and hormones
- Describe the structure and function of different types of nucleic acids including DNA and RNA
- Become familiar with some of the basic laboratory techniques used in biochemistry and to appreciate the importance of safety in the laboratory
