Second course in a sequence that studies the chemical processes within and related to living organisms. Biochemistry II continues the discussion of metabolism started in BCM 441 with an examination of phosphoglyceride, sphingolipid, sterol, and amino acid metabolism. Emphasis will also be placed on nucleic acid structure and function, DNA replication, repair and recombination, RNA synthesis, protein synthesis, gene regulation, DNA sequencing, the polymerase chain reaction, and cloning. Prerequisites: A grade of "C" or better in CHE-441.
