Course Description

CMB 705 Molecular Structure and Cellular Function (Biochemistry I)  is a fundamental study in biochemistry that covers the chemistry, biosynthesis and utilization of amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates and lipids. Other basic biochemical topics will be protein structure, membrane structure and function, cell organization and function, and cellular tissue structure and function. Students will also develop problem-solving and analytical skills that are more generally applicable to the life sciences in this 4-credit course.

Course Information

  • Draw biochemical structures including amino acids, nucleic acids, carbohydrates and lipids.
  • Describe the synthesis of proteins, lipids, nucleic acids and carbohydrates.
  • Describe the regulation of proteins and nucleic acids at the epigenetic, transcriptional and post-translational levels.
  • Compare and contrast the structure of cell components and their function.
  • Communicate research results effectively through written and oral presentations during the course.
  • State an ethical issue in the biomedical/molecular life sciences and create a solution for the issue.
  • Identify the interrelatedness between Biology and Chemistry in Biochemistry.
  • Investigate medical diagnoses and treatment at the cellular and molecular levels.

Note: The course topics listed below are for a regular fall or spring semester. The summer semester will be shortened to 10 weeks and several topics will be combined.
