Biochemistry |
| Course Description: |
This is a six-week basic course in medical biochemistry with emphasis
on the properties and intermediary metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates,
lipids, and nucleic acids. The regulation and integration of metabolic
pathways for energy transfer and biosynthesis of major cellular constituents
are presented in detail. Enzymes, vitamins, hormones, biochemical genetics,
and nutrition are included in the course material. These subjects are oriented
towards understanding human disease at the biochemical level. Classes meet
four days each week with two section exams. The course is oriented towards
providing students a firm knowledge in biochemistry needed for successful
achievement
in the other basic science courses in Microbiology, Pharmacology, Physiology
and Pathology and passing biochemical subjects in Step I of the USMLE. All
of the faculty have over 13 years experience teaching medical biochemisty,
and one has been recognized routinely by the first year class as the best
basic
science teacher. |
