Module outline:This whole course unit is designed for students whose principal discipline is not Biochemistry, but whose interests lie in the broad area of biological sciences. It is primarily a lecture course with tutorials. The first half of the course is taught with, and has the same content as, Biochemistry B13 namely molecular biology, immunology, haemoglobin, collagen, membrane proteins, enzymology and intracellular protein targetting. It then proceeds in the second term to cover topics in protein structure, endocrinology, lipid metabolism and transport, lipids and cardiovascular disease, transport processes, fast hormaonal signal transduction processes, detoxification mechanisms and carcinogeneisis, oncogenes, cell growth and a brief overview of cancer and gene defects and disease. 
Module aims:To build on a basic knowledge of Biochemistry and to give a deeper insight into a selected range of topics.
