CHEM 430, introduction to biological chemistry, is a semester course given to undergraduate students who attend the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Students take this course as a prerequisite to many STEM majors but can also take it if they are majoring in a non-STEM degree but pursuing a medical track career. The course covers the study of cellular processes including catalysts, metabolism, bioenergetics, and biochemical genetics. The structure and function of biological macromolecules involved in these processes is heavily emphasized.
