BITC 1403 - Principles of Biochemistry

Credit Hours: 4
Contact Hours - Lecture: 3 Lab: 3
Structure, function, and cellular metabolism of various bio-molecules. Concentrates on the intra- and intermolecular conversion of bio-molecules. Knowledge in this area is directly applicable to analysis and processing of bio-molecules and their pertinence to biotechnology as it relates to biopharmaceuticals, biodiagnostics, fermentation, and bio-manufacturing.
Prerequisite: CHEM 1405 or CHEM 1411.
Student Learning Outcomes
1. Explain relationships between chemistry and the biological sciences. 2. Solve problems associated with bio-molecule structures, functions, and laboratory operations. 3. Conduct a literature search for topics relating to biochemistry and communicate results. 4. Demonstrate safe practices in modern laboratories.
