This course is a study of the physical and chemical properties of proteins, nucleic acids, fatty acids and carbohydrates emphasizing the relationship between the chemical structure and the biological function. The course includes the physical methods of biochemistry, enzyme kinetics, bioenergetics and nucleic acid transcription and translation.

This course is a study of the catabolism and anabolism of carbohydrates, fatty acids and amino acids. The course emphasizes the regulation and integration of major metabolic pathways, including glycolysis, the Kreb's cycle, electron transport, gluconeogenesis, pentose phosphate, fatty acid metabolism and amino acid metabolism.

A study of topics of special interest not extensively treated in regularly offered courses.
