| Description: An examination of the major ideas of biochemistry from the point of view of the chemical sciences rather than the life sciences. The focus will be on structure and reactivity of important biomolecules and the role of energetics and reaction dynamics in biochemical processes. Major metabolic pathways are covered, including those of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. |

| Additional Book Comments |
| This is NOT the complete book list for this class. |
| Instructor's comments about the book list: The Campbell Biochemistry book is recommended for this course, and reading assignments will be provided based on it. However, the course will rely heavily on lecture, which may be supplemented with material from outside the book; therefore a copy of any college Biochemistry text would support students well in this course. |
