Course Description: The course intended to teach pharmacy students in the second year level the basics of biochemsitry. The course will cover the following topics within 28 lectures of the first semester: amino acids, peptides and proteins, enzymes, carbohydrates, lipids and related compounds, nucleotide and nucleic acids, and vitamins and co-enzymes. Furthermore, the information presented in this course will prepare the student for Biochemistry II course which is given in the second semester of the academic year. Intended Learning Outcomes: After studying this course the student should be able to: 1) The student will be able to understand all the basic information of biochemistry and biomolecules that play important role in human life such as amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleotides, vitamins…etc. 2) The student will be able to appreciate the importance of the science of biochemistry in his daily life as a student and as a pharmacist. 3) The student will have better understanding of the link between biochemistry and other taught courses in phamacy education program.
