BMS261: Human and Comparative Biochemistry

Knowledge of intermediary metabolism and molecular biology is central to the understanding of the normal healthy metabolic state in humans and other species, from which the disturbances in metabolism associated with disease and principles of treatment can be better appreciated. The unit emphasises the molecular basis of medicine and the conceptual understanding of metabolism in the whole organism.
