Course Description

Chinese Description

The Biochemistry and Experiments III course introduces students to the structure, properties, and functions of biological macromolecules such as proteins, enzymes, and nucleic acids. It also covers the metabolic processes of sugars, lipids, and proteins, and explains the dynamic transmission of genetic information among DNA, RNA, and proteins, with a focus on the central dogma. The course aims to provide students with a systematic understanding of modern biochemistry and prepare them for further study in related fields.

English Description

In Biochemistry and Experiments III, structure and function of biological macromolecules, such as proteins, enzymes, and nucleic acids, will be illustrated, followed by the metabolism pathways of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. And finally, the signal pathway among DNA, RNA, and protein will be introduced, focusing on the central dogma. By learning these chapters, students will learn the principles of biochemistry and have access to the frontal area of modern biochemistry. At the same time, from the experiments especially designed for students, they will learn the basic protocols and skills in biochemistry research, which will be of great benefit for their following study.
