| Course description |
|
[Course objective] 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. [Course synopsis] Biochemistry is the investigation of the molecular basis of life. The students should understand the chemical and physical properties of biological molecules influence their function as the biochemical baseline knowledge. |
| Expected Learning |
|
- Understanding the structures and functions of essential molecules that are composed of bioorganisms - Understanding the physiological roles of biomolecules Corresponding criteria in the Diploma Policy: (B) Please refer to the curriculum map at the following URL: https://www.tuat.ac.jp/campuslife_career/campuslife/policy/. |
