Biochemistry (Bioscience Level 4) - 2023

Understanding how nutrients work at a cellular level is fundamental to Nutritional Science/Therapist and Personalised Nutrition. This module aims to establish understanding of the function of cell organelles with particular reference to protein synthesis, transcription and translation. Additionally, this module aims to develop the student's ability to relate structural and chemical features of macromolecules with their function in living systems and in particular the importance of vitamins and minerals as cofactors, in enzyme function of major metabolic pathways.

Students who are required to complete the Chemistry (level 3) bioscience access course must successfully do so before starting this level 4 course.
