BIO 370 Biochemistry
This course examines the synthesis and metabolism of biological molecules (proteins, enzymes, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids) with a focus on protein structure and folding in addition to enzymatic regulation of metabolism. How many forms of cellular metabolism integrate and are applied more broadly to tissues, organisms, and ecosystems. Lab covers analytical methods and instruments used to study, isolate, and purify biological molecules. In connection with the LCOOU Sustainable Agricultural Research Station, we will develop and explore the hands-on skills of biochemistry used in numerous cultural, agricultural, and natural resource settings.
