A comprehensive treatment of biochemistry and molecular biology stressing aspects of metabolism, metabolic regulation, bioenergetics, and recombinant DNA methodologies.

Basic techniques in biochemistry and molecular biology, including enzyme assays and purification, nucleic acid purification and characterization, chromatography, spectroscopy, and other modern methods.

The principles of physical chemistry applied to biological molecules and systems, including current approaches in structural biology.

Integrated treatment of human biochemistry and selected topics on the biochemical basis of human disease. Examples will be given of inheritable and acquired disorders.

Various topics in human biochemistry and pathophysiology.

Examination of the mechanistic basis of inherited and acquired human disorders at the molecular level. Background into the cellular pathways involved in each disease will be presented as well as discussion of recent advances in research and therapeutics.
