Enzymology and Cellular Metabolism

A continuation of Biochemistry I. Topics include thermodynamics, pH and acid-base chemistry, metabolism and metabolic regulation including glycolysis, TCA cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. Tissue-specific metabolism studies will include liver metabolism, muscle metabolism, hormonal action and blood clotting. Students will also explore how alteration of these metabolic pathways relates to the development and progression of some human diseases.
