Biochemistry Course OutlinePreface Biochemistry and molecular biology focus on the chemical composition of organism and the laws of chemical changes during the life process. The content of the course includes the following: structure and function of some biomacromolecules as protein, nucleic acid, carbohydrate, lipid and enzyme. metabolism of carbohydrate, lipid, amino acid and nucleotide in vivo. molecular basis and regulation laws in genetic information transferring.cell signal transduction and extracellular matrix needful for various physiological activities. special biochemistry of some tissues and organs as blood and liver. This subject mainly adopts principle and methods of chemistry, and also melts the theory and skills of biophysics, physiology, cell biology, genetics and immunology. So, it has extensive interrelation and intersection with numerous subjects. Biochemistry and molecular biology is one of the important basic subjects for medicine.Chapter 1 IntroductionContent of courseI. The concept of biochemistry.
