BIO213CHEMISTRY OF AMINO ACIDS AND PROTEINS

BIO213 – Chemistry of Amino Acids and Proteins introduces students to the structural and functional properties of amino acids and proteins. It covers topics such as peptide bond formation, protein structure (primary to quaternary), enzyme kinetics, protein folding, and denaturation. The course also explores protein synthesis, functions, and techniques for protein purification and analysis.

By linking chemical principles to biological processes, students gain a deeper understanding of how proteins perform vital roles in metabolism, signal transduction, structural integrity, and immune responses. Practical laboratory work supports the theoretical framework, equipping students with analytical skills important for biochemistry, molecular biology, and biotechnology careers.
