BASIC BIOCHEMISTRY II
INSTRUCTOR IN CHARGE

Ms R. Selvi
1. SCOPE & OBJECTIVES :
The course aims at making the students learn the basic biochemistry with
emphasis on fundamentals. It includes topics on organic aspects of (i) carbohydrates, proteins, lipids &
nucleopreoteins, (ii) enzymatology (iii) hormones and (iv) techniques. As life is nothing but metabolism,
i.e., reactions taking place in a living system, students will learn the main aspects of metabolism of major
biochemicals in the body, i.e. carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. They would also learn the physicochemical aspects of Biochemistry, techniques like electrophoresis including those using Radio isotopes
in analysis. Being students of Optometry, they would learn the basic facts in ocular structures and
their functions as also Clinical Biochemistry with reference to analysis of glucose, urea, creatinine and
bilirubin in blood and basic instrumentations.
