Harvard Online ClassofIntroduction to Biochemistry

哈佛大学食品专业核心课程生物化学

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course provides an overview of the main aspects of biochemistry by relating molecular interactions to their effects on the organism as a whole, especially as related to human biology. The organization of macromolecules is addressed through a discussion of their hierarchical structure, and a study of their assembly into complexes responsible for specific biological processes. Topics addressing protein function include enzyme kinetics, the characterization of major metabolic pathways, and their interconnection into tightly regulated networks.

本课程通过将分子间的相互作用与其对整个生物体的影响联系起来，特别是与人类生物学相关，从而提供了生物化学的主要方面的概述。大分子的组织是通过讨论他们的层次结构，并研究他们的组装成复合物负责特定的生物过程。探讨蛋白质功能的主题包括酶动力学，主要代谢途径的表征，以及它们之间的紧密调控网络的连接。
