| Description: | The second semester continues your exploration of metabolic pathways, focusing on use of energy to build the molecules needed in each cell. The in-depth treatment of metabolic pathways allows students acquire an understanding of the cross-talk among metabolic pathways and complexity of their regulation. The second portion of this course covers the means by which genetic information is expressed in cells. In addition to learning about metabolic diseases, students will also learn the fundamental biochemical concepts they need to consider nutritional topics and may even be able to launch into an intelligent debate about the science behind the wildly popular Atkins diet. Finally, students will learn about the biochemistry behind the modern genetic engineering and recombinant DNA techniques that allow for the commercial production of protein drugs such as insulin. |
