About this course
Overview: As a natural science, biochemistry is the study of the chemical processes that drive biological systems. This course explores the basic principles of biochemistry and develops the student's appreciation and understanding of biological networks. CHEM 301 focuses on the understanding of biochemical processes in the context of chemical principles; and the importance of research design and application in the investigation of questions in biochemistry. Because the field of biochemistry is continually evolving and touches many areas of cell biology, this course also includes an elementary introduction to the study of molecular biology.
