5 courses with the subject BIOC, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
BIOC 405Biochemistry I3
An in-depth study of the organic chemistry of the molecular components of cells including proteins, enzymes (kinetics and mechanisms), coenzymes, nucleic acids, lipids and carbohydrates. The metabolism and biosynthesis of these constituents including glycolysis, Krebs cycle, pentose shunt, electron transport, glycogen synthesis, and lipid oxidation and synthesis will be studied. The energy transformation involved in and the regulation of these pathways will also be discussed. Special topics to be included are hormone biochemistry, biochemical genetics (replication, transcription and translation of genetic material), recombinant DNA, photosynthesis and membrane chemistry.
Laboratory experiments in isolation and purification of enzymes/proteins, enzyme kinetics, and the identification and properties of nucleic acids, carbohydrates and lipids. Techniques include spectrophotometry, centrifugation, dialysis, PCR, various forms of chromatography and electrophoresis.

A year-long research project starting with the development of an original research idea and an oral and written research proposal to be approved by the chemistry department. 6 credits total, 1 (Fall), 4 (Jan.), and 1 (Spring).
