Objective of Course :
The main objective of this course is to help the students attain the basic knowledge on energy transformations in biological systems as well the key role played by enzymes in metabolisms. To prepare students work confidently on enzyme systems by integrating practical aspects with theory.
Learning Outcomes :
On completion of the course the student will be able to do the following :
CO1. Student will be able to understand how these biomolecules (which they studied in the previous year) will be able to give energy for the systems.
CO2. Understand the first and second laws of thermodynamics and how they impact evolutionary trends.
C03. Attain knowledge on biomolecular interactions.
CO4. Understand the roles of ATP and reduced cofactors in shuttling energy and electrons around within cells.
CO5. Knowing about enzymes and their mode of actions will help in better understanding of metabolisms.
CO6. Learning the basics aids in better handling of enzymes in vitro.
CO7. Will be able to plan and execute an enzyme assay.
CO8. As assaying of enzymes is key in drug discovery and clinical identifications, student will be able to understand or assess the metabolic disorders.

Course Summary
Biochemistry explains in detail about the various biochemical reactions taking place in our body systems and also explains the biomolecules involved in these reactions to provide us the metabolic results with energy and other by-products useful for the functioning of the body. Biostatistics helps us to evaluate and correlate the scientific research data generated in any of the experiments and research field. It explains the basic concepts and their application in the research for the smooth functioning as well as for scientific evaluation.Course Objectives
