Objectives: to give students a basic understanding of medical biochemistry in normal and diseased states, enable students to become familiar with biochemical concepts and metabolic processes at molecular levels in the body, and to prepare them for careers in clinical work or in research of medical science.

Requirements: the students should have completed two related basic courses: “general chemistry” and “general biology” before taking this course.

Teaching Contents: This course consists of structures and functions of biomacromolecules (nucleic acids, proteins, enzymes); metabolism and regulator of substances(carbohydrate metabolism, metabolism of lipids, biological oxidation, catabolism of proteins, nucleotide metabolism, regulation of metabolism); delivering of gene information（DNA biosynthesis, transcription, protein biosynthesis, regulation of gene expression, gene technology），pharmacy biochemistry(transport and metabolic transformation of drug  in vivo, the biochemistry foundation of biology drug and drug research).
