Fayetteville State University Department: Natural Sciences Program: Biochemistry Courses Course Descriptions Course Descriptions BICH 411 (3-3-0) Biochemistry I: An introductory course that provides a theoretical basis for the major principles in biochemistry. The course includes an historical perspective of biochemistry, and a study of the four major biological macromolecules: proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. Three major areas of biochemistry will be emphasized: (1) acid/base equilibria; (2) structure and function of bio-molecules; and (3) biological information flow. In addition to lectures and discussions, problem sets will be assigned to equip students with an understanding of basic biochemical principles and to promote critical thinking and problem solving skills. Prerequisite: BIOL 200 And CHEM 220 Or CHEM 221 BICH 412 (3-3-0) Biochemistry II: A study of bioenergetics, biosynthesis of major biological macromolecules, and metabolic pathways in animals, plants, and microbes. Emphasis will Course Objectives Artifacts/Evidence also be placed on methods of purification and analysis of biological macromolecules and applications of basic biochemical principles to living systems. In addition to lectures and discussions, problem sets will be assigned to equip students with an understanding of basic biochemical principles and to promote critical thinking and problem solving skills. The course content will be correlated with the laboratory exercises in the co-requisite Biochemistry laboratory (BICH 421). Prerequisite: BICH 411 Or BICH 421 BICH 421 (1-0-1) Biochemistry Laboratory: The application of biochemical principles and techniques to the separation, purification, and analysis of biological substances, and to the investigation of metabolic activity. Prerequisite: BICH 411 And BICH 412 (may be taken concurrently)
