M03 Biochemistry
The Medical Biochemistry course is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the biochemical principles and processes that underlie human health and disease. It explores the molecular and cellular basis of life, metabolism, genetics, and the application of biochemistry in clinical practice. The course integrates knowledge from various disciplines, including biology, chemistry, and medicine, to develop a deep understanding of the biochemical aspects of human biology.
The M03 Biochemistry course covers a wide range of topics, including the structure and function of biomolecules, enzymology, metabolic pathways, genetic information flow, and molecular biology techniques. Specific areas include carbohydrate metabolism, lipid metabolism, protein synthesis, nucleic acids, and signal transduction.
A basic knowledge of biology is recommended to fully grasp the course content. Additionally, you will need reliable internet access and a computer or tablet to participate in the course.
The course is self-paced, but typically, students spend a few hours per week on lectures, assignments, and discussions. The total duration varies depending on individual study habits and schedules.
The key learning outcomes of the M03 Biochemistry course include:
Understanding the structure and function of major biomolecules.
Comprehending the principles of enzyme action and regulation.
Gaining insights into major metabolic pathways and their regulation.
Understanding the molecular basis of genetic information flow.
Applying biochemical knowledge to clinical scenarios and laboratory techniques.
Students have access to discussion forums, live Q&A sessions, and personalized feedback from instructors. This support system is designed to help students with any questions or challenges they may encounter.
Yes, recommended textbooks for the M03 Biochemistry course include:
“Biochemistry” by Jeremy M. Berg, John L. Tymoczko, and Lubert Stryer.
“Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry” by David L. Nelson and Michael M. Cox.
Online resources such as PubMed, NCBI, and specific biochemistry-focused websites are also useful for supplementary reading and research.
