CHEMISTRY BEHIND THE LIFE PROCESSES
Enrollment is Closed
T.Y.BSc students have already learned the fundamentals of biomolecules and the chemistry that underlie them. This course will assist them in learning about the advances and chemistry that support life processes. This course will also serve as a bridge course for students interested in pursuing their studies in biochemistry.
