BIOL 522 Biochemistry II
Examines the biochemical building blocks of the cell, emphasizing structure, basic reactions and how they are catalyzed by enzymes, along with an overview of how cell structure is dictated by chemistry. In addition, DNA and RNA will be examined from a regulatory standpoint, as well as the way in which pollutant and drug metabolism can alter the mutation rate, increasing the risk of cancer. Prerequisites:
BIOL 521/521L.
