Credit points: 15
Subject outline
This subject introduces the structure and function of the basic classes of biological molecules, rate equations of catalysis, enzyme kinetics and allosteric control. Students will study the pathways by which various biological molecules are degraded within the cell to release energy, or synthesised from smaller molecules. Emphasis is on the integration and regulation of the pathways. The practical course will consolidate basic biochemical techniques and formal report writing.
