This module will broaden knowledge and understanding of atomic and molecular structure, enzyme function, energy and thermodynamics that can be applied to the Life Sciences.
Topics include:
molecular structure and biochemical properties (to include organisation and charge/polarity) of nucleotides, lipids and phospholipids, carbohydrates and amino acids
protein structure (primary to quaternary)
biological enzymes and their importance in the catalysis of biochemical reactions
energy and thermodynamics relating to biochemical reactions
