Course Description
An overview of how alterations in bioenergetics, enzyme catalysis, protein and membrane structure, carbohydrate, lipid and nucleic acid metabolism affect human health and how biomedical engineering tools are used to detect and monitor the problems by understanding these biochemical processes. Topics include: Biological Thermodynamics, Energy of macromolecular structure and binding, Structure/function of proteins, enzymes and nucleic acids, Kinetics, enzyme catalysis and biochemical network analysis, Generation of chemical and electrical potential in membranes, Carbohydrate/lipid/protein metabolism and energy production, DNA synthesis, transcription, Technologies used to monitor/detect biochemical processes including clinical imaging modalities.
