CHM 332 - BIOCHEM HUMAN DISEASE & DISORD

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Chemistry

Description:

This course discusses the underlying biochemical principles, concepts and mechanisms of human diseases and disorders in comparison to the respective conditions of health or homeostasis. Selected topics covered in this course include patho-biochemical aspects of biologically relevant elements (such as iron), molecules (such as oxygen) and compounds (such as heme) or classes of compounds (such as carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins). In addition, various diseases and disorders associated with protein folding and structuring (such as Alzheimer's Disease), the function of blood cells (such as sickle cell anemia), as well as the formation of extracellular matrix and bones (such as osteoporosis) are presented. Furthermore, biochemical events during the cell cycle, related to the development of cancer, are explored.
