This course is a study of the basic principles and regulatory processes governing the chemistry of life with a special emphasis on changes that occur as a result of a pathologic condition. The purpose of the course is to provide rigorous training in the biochemical systems and pathways needed to understand clinical medicine. The pace and content-level of the course is designed to be similar to that given to a first year medical student; in fact many of the large group lectures will be taken from an actual first year medical biochemistry course. We will compare and contrast normal biochemical pathways/systems to a wide variety of different pathologic conditions, ranging from lead poisoning to inherited metabolic disorders.
