This course is a general study of the chemistry of biomolecules. It will present the conformation and function of enzymes and other proteins, carbohydrates and lipids, and cell membranes, channels, pumps, and receptors. The methods of producing and storing energy through glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, the citric acid cycle, photosynthesis, and the metabolism of glycogen, fatty acids and lipids, and nitrogen-containing molecules will be examined. A brief discussion of the chemistry of genes and chromosomes, DNA and RNA metabolism, and regulation of gene expression will conclude the semester. Prerequisite(s); CHM 108 or CHM 250 or CHM 264
