Biochemistry
Course Description, Prerequisites and Textbooks
Biochemistry (CHEM301) requires four weekends to complete. Classes are held on Saturdays and Sundays from 8:30am to 6:30pm.
(4 Semester Units*)
Nursing students should click here to learn more about the Chemistry for Nurses class, also offered by ISP. The Chemistry for Nurses class introduces pre-nursing students to the fundamental concepts of organic chemistry and biochemistry, and meets the requirement for pre-nursing curriculum.
Biochemistry (CHEM301) course examines the structure and function of the following biological macromolecules in the context of cellular integrity, dynamics and metabolism: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. Topics include enzymology, bioenergetics, catabolism, anabolism, regulation of gene expression, biotechnology, hormone regulation of mammalian metabolism and the pre-biotic evolution of life on earth.
ISP does not require students to complete any preliminary 'introductory' classes prior to enrollment in our program. For example, students can enroll immediately into ISP's General Chemistry 1 class without taking 'Introduction to Chemistry'. This applies to all of our course offerings, including Biology, Anatomy & Physiology, Microbiology and Physics. *If the college or university to which the student intends to transfer Integrated Science Program (ISP) courses requires 5 instead of 4 semester units per portion of a course (either 1 or 2), we offer 1 semester unit independent study courses for each formal course which provide empirically-based studies that enhance, deepen, and further integrate knowledge of the subject by developing different problem-solving skills and conceptual organization than those fostered in formal classroom and laboratory learning.
Biochemistry - Prerequisite High School Diploma or equivalent, General Chemistry 1 & General Chemistry 2 or equivalent and Organic Chemistry 1 & Organic Chemistry 2 or equivalent.
