Objectives of the Course

The aim of the course is • Studying biochemical structures of molecules appearing in biological systems (such as protein, carbohydrate, lipid and nucleic acid) and their interactions. • Studying synthesize and catabolic mechanisms of macro and micro molecules synthesized in the organism and their functions. • Using biochemical principles of health sciences and related fields, this area is to create and understanding about the ability of solving these problems as biochemical point of view. • Orienting knowledge acquisition and evaluation skills
