Biomolecular Chemistry Course InformationFor more course information please visit the Learn @ UW website. Biomolecular Chemistry 314 is a three-credit introductory human biochemistry course designed for students in the health professions. The course starts with a brief introduction on the principles of organic chemistry essential to understanding of biochemistry. It then surveys the structure and function of enzymes and other biomolecules, metabolic utilization of foods from the diet, energy metabolism, fundamentals of gene expression, biochemical aspects of hormonal control, blood chemistry and biochemical diseases.
Biomolecular Chemistry 503 is a three credit biochemistry course designed for students in the medical sciences. In addition to presenting basic biochemistry, this course gives emphasis to the medical and physiological implications of biochemistry and to human metabolism and its regulation. The course is taught on the assumption that you have mastered the basic concepts of prerequisite courses such as organic and general chemistry.
Biomolecular Chemistry 504 is a two-credit biochemistry course including lab and discussions on basic principles of human biochemistry with an emphasis on modern biochemical techniques used professionally in research, clinical, and biotechnology laboratories. Labs include exercises in protein purification and characterization, enzymology, DNA cloning, PCR analysis and immunochemistry. Biomolecular Chemistry 704 (Comprehensive Human Biochemistry) is a six credit course, taught to medical students in the first semester of medical school. The course consists of usually 4-5 lectures weekly, nine problem-based exercises during the course of the semester, several clinical correlation presentations, and five exams. Biomolecular Chemistry 710 is a two credit course held in the spring. This course focuses on topics and approaches applicable to an in-depth understanding of fundamental biochemical research, and is designed to provide students with a solid foundation for the research phase of their careers. Biomolecular Chemistry 901 is a one credit course held in the fall and spring semesters. Weekly seminar currently scheduled for Friday afternoon. All students must register for this course every semester of their graduate career. Attendance is mandatory except when conflicts arise with other duties that cannot be rescheduled (e.g., courses, professional meetings, illness, personal emergency). This requirement applies regardless of whether the student's thesis laboratory is in another department.
