| Course description |
|
Biochemistry is the investigation of the molecular basis of life. In this course, Biochemistry I, the students learn the structures, chemical and physical properties and interactions of biomolecules such as amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and their complexes. |
| Expected Learning |
| The students should understand the chemical and physical properties of biological molecules influence their function as the biochemical baseline knowledge. |
