Biochemistry school training courses in Ann Arbor, MI (public, in-house or online)

A one-term introductory biochemistry course that covers the biochemistry of the living state, the chemistry of amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids, and steroids, energy transformations and chemical reactions in living cells, function of immune system and action of hormones, and self-regulation and self-replication of living organisms.

This course explores the roles of essential biological molecules including proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates, with an introduction to nucleic acids. It provides a systematic and methodical application of general and organic chemistry principles. Students examine the structure of proteins, their function, the methodologies for the purification and characterization of proteins, and the alteration of protein function through protein engineering. Enzymes and their kinetics and mechanisms are cover...
