Taught at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland with final grade assigned by W&L biology faculty. This course may not be taken for credit by students who have completed CHEM 341. Prerequisite: instructor consent. This course gives a solid background in mainstream biochemistry to students from a variety of backgrounds. This course examines major biological macromolecules, the common motifs which occur in metabolic reactions, explores the properties of enzymes catalyzing these reactions, and considers the approaches to characterize the small molecule complement (metabolites) of biological systems.
