This course is a continuation from the basic course, STB1083
Biochemistry. This course is designed to cover topics in the
biochemical reactions within and between the cells that will be
describe in details in this course. Products generated from the
biosynthesis of either amino acids, protein, carbohydrate, fatty
acid or lipids are broken down for the production of energy
either in aerobic or anaerobic processes. Amongst the concepts to
be taught and discussed include a description in details of the
production of energy consists details of all the metabolic
pathways including Glycolysis, TCA cycle or Krebs cycle,
oxidative phosphorylation, photosynthesis and etc. This will be
followed by topics on mechanism of nucleotides with lectures in
biosynthesis of purine and pyrimidine. This is an advanced
biochemistry course that aims to equip students with sufficient
knowledge and information for better understanding of the
biochemical processes and metabolic pathways that involved in
