Biochemistry I

  • Course ID: CHEM 330
  • Subject: Biological Sciences

Biochemistry is the study of chemical processes at work in the context of living organisms. Students successfully completing this course will demonstrate an understanding of molecular structure and function of biomolecules, as well as chemical transformation, energetics and basic regulation of central metabolic pathways. In the lab students will gain experience with common methodologies for investigating proteins.

For successful completion of this course it is recommended that students are familiar with General Chemistry I, II, and Organic Chemistry I, or their equivalents.

Courses Include

  • illustration of a person talking. Lectures
  • illustration of a beaker. Labs
Labs fall into three categories: at-home labs, laboratory kits and virtual labs. At-home labs use commonly found household items or things that can easily be purchased and come with a set of instructions on how to complete the lab. Laboratory kits are very similar to at home-labs – items and directions required to complete the lab are sent directly to you via the purchase of a lab kit. Virtual labs use in-house designed simulations which walk you through any experiment and will ask you lab-related questions. All labs may require a video of you performing the lab and/or a completed lab report.
