Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

The aim of this course is to provide the detailed mechanism about macromolecules used within cell by indicating their roles in several metabolic pathways. Besides it, we also aim to provide deeper understanding betweeen several metabolic pathways to understand what has happened within the cell. The interaction of metabolic pathways together with their detailed mechanism are also covered in this course.

Course Content:

The content of this course is to teach the structural properties of macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids and nucleic acids) and carbohydrate metabolism, lipid metabolism and integration of metabolism.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Can define the mechanisms of synthesis and degradation of macromolecules.
2) Can express the metabolic pathways used to produce energy and how this energy is used in the cell.
3) Can describe the list of important metabolic cycles in the cell.
4) Can express the details of the regulation and control mechanism in the cell.
