This course is a sequel to "Structural Biochemistry". Its main content is to discuss various chemical reactions in the organisms and the law of energy changes in the reaction, which involve material metabolism and energy metabolism. The focus will be on bioenergetics, biological oxidation and several intracellular key metabolic pathways and their regulatory mechanisms. The metabolic pathways will include glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, pentose phosphate pathway, tricarboxylic acid cycle, glycogen metabolism, beta oxidation of fatty acids, fatty acid biosynthesis, cholesteral metabolism, amino acid metabolism, and nucleotide metabolism. At the same time, this course will keep you updated about the latest developments or advances related to metabolism, emphasize the biochemical logic, combine theory with practice, and help you improve the ability to analyze and solve problems.
The purpose of this course is trying to make you understand the secret of life at the molecular level, master the basic principles of metabolic biochemistry, and learn a lot of useful stuff.
