Objectives of the Course
It is aimed to describe the chemical structures of living cells and the reactions and events they have through exactly at the molecular level. To achieve this goal, biochemistry has attempted to isolate a large number of molecules found in cells, to determine their structure and to analyze their function. Biochemical studies have made it possible to elucidate many aspects of health and disease.
