Course description
[Course objective] This course is designed for students who already learned basic properties of biomolecules such as amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. In this course, students will learn various metabolic pathways in bio-organisms.
[Course synopsis] The course, biochemistry II, provides an overview of metabolic pathways of carbohydrates, lipids and amino acids, and also bioenergetics and regulation of the metabolisms.
Expected Learning
- Understanding aerobic carbohydrate metabolism
- Understanding biosynthetic pathways and metabolisms of lipids and amino acids
- Understanding bioenergetics and regulation of the metabolisms

Message from instructor(s)
Many common biochemical processes have been discovered, and the biochemical system has been constructed based on the processes. This lecture provides an overview of major metabolic pathways that occur in cells and bodies. We expect students to take an active approach to understand the common biochemical processes that are specifically observed in our bodies.
Course keywords
