1 S.Y.B.Sc. Biochemistry Syllabus Academic year

2 SEMESTER III Course code US BCH 301 BIO-ORGANIC CHEMISTRY & BIOPHYSICAL CHEMISTRY (45 LECTURES) Unit I: Acids, bases, buffers and ionic equilibria (15 Lectures) To describe different models for acids and bases To describe strength of acid & bases in terms of in terms of proton donor and acceptor To describe titration curve of different amino acids Introduction of physiological buffering system functioning in biological system Lerner will develops conceptual clarity with acid and bases, titration curve, and their applicability in physiological system.

3 Unit II: Physicochemical principles (15 Lectures) To aware student with physicochemical properties of matter like osmosis, diffusion, colloids, viscosity, surface tension and their utility in biological system. Understand the fundamental physicochemical principles involved in biochemistry. Student must understand physicochemical parameters and their importance in biological functioning.

4 Unit III: Microscopy (15 Lectures) To introduce students with history and basics of microscopy, specialized microscopy techniques. Student will learn microscope basics including parts of different microscopes and how microscope work.

5 Course code US BCH 302 FUNDAMENTALS OF GENETICS AND PHYSIOLOGY (45 LECTURES) Unit I: Genetics:I Introduction of student with historical view genetics. Use of punnett square method to predict the result of mendelian crosses, to predict dominance and recessive phenotypes. Introduction of gene interactions. Student will be able to describe and apply the principles of mendelian genetics. Student will able to describe gene interaction and can solve the numericals to understand concepts in mendelin gentics.

6 Unit II: Blood and body fluids Explain the importance of water in the body Contrast the composition of intracellular fluids with extracellular fluids. Characteristics, composition and functions of blood, urine, bile & lymph. Students will able to understand introduction, distribution, mechanism of action and functioning of different body fluids coordinately working in living body.

7 Unit III: Biological transport mechanisms To familiarized students with plant cells involve in transport mechanism, transport across blood cells & biological membrane. Students will get in detailed information about transport proteins working over the wide area in plants, blood and on plasma membrane along with types of transport proteins.

8 Course code US BCH 303 Applied biochemistry (45 LECTURES) Unit I: Microbiology in human health and diseases Introduction of beneficial and harmful classes of microorganisms in soil, water, air & food. Study of general structure of virus and their classification based on different criteria. Student will able to differentiate between microbes. They can understand sources of microorganisms They will able to understand concept of virus, its classification and virus life cycle too.

9 Unit II: Cell and tissue culture To give idea about cell and tissue and its culture techniques and their applicability in developing new variety of plants and animals. Student will understand concepts in plant and animal tissue culture. They can understand process of cultivation of cells and tissue, They will also get an idea of application of tissue culture and its current need.

10 Unit III: Industrial biochemistry Basics of fermentation their types and use of fermenters in industrially important products like wine, penicillin etc. Enzyme immobilization techniques and its applications To introduce students with biosensors, single cell proteins. Student will understand basics of microscopy and their utilization in different areas of biology
