Goals Biochemistry deals with striking properties of living organisms that contains thousands of various biological molecules. To describe the biochemical terms, the structures, mechanisms and properties of amino acids, protein and carbohydrates.
Course Content Functional groups, biomolecules, the structures, functions and varieties of amino acids, primary, secondary, tertiary and quarternary structures and functions of proteins, the chemistry of carbohyrates and glycobiology, metabolism of carbohydate, glycolysis, pathway of pyruvate, pentoseve önemi, karbohidrat sentesi, karbohidrat sentez ve yıkımının kontrolü
Learning Outcomes 1) Learn the peptide secondary structures of the proteins by utilizing the phi and psi angle and the Ramachandran graphs.
2) Explain the biochemical structures of amino acids to know the secondary structures of peptides
3) Primary, secondary, tertiary and quartarnary structures of proteins have been recognized
4) It clearly and precisely indicates that metabolic pathway can be controlled by the enzymes which catalyze the irreversible reactions
