LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

The primary objective of this course is:
 To educate student on concepts of proteins, and enzymes
 To introduce the basic knowledge of cellular metabolism in plants

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

This course will enable the students to understand:
 Students will be taught about proteins, and their biosynthesis,
 The course will also teach about catalytic mechanistic of enzymes, its inhibitors and
regulation
 The course will strengthen the basic ideas about metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins,
and lipids
