Course content
Chemical Biology(or bio-organic chemistry) is interdisciplinary areas ranging from organic chemistry to molecular biology for the study and manipulation of biological systems. Since the concepts of physical chemistry is essential for quantitative understanding of these systems, this course introduce the students to the basis of biophysical chemistry.
Purpose of class
To learn the basis of biophysical chemistry
Goals and objectives
  1. To understand biophysical chemistry by reviewing physical chemistry and organic chemistry
  2. To review thermodynamics and kinetics for understanding chemical and biochemical reaction
  3. To learn the elements of biochemical kinetics, such as Michaelis-Menten equation
