BCH6B015 MOLECULAR BIOLOGY AND GENETIC ENGINEERING is a core paper for B.Sc Biochemistry in sixth semester

Objectives: 

# Provide basic knowledge on genome organization, the concept of the central dogma, and processes involved in gene expression and its regulation.

# Study the mutational changes in genetic material and how the systems repair them.

# Understand the principles and techniques in genetic engineering and the fundamentals of genetics.

Objectives:

* Provide a general introduction to Biochemistry as a discipline and to highlight its foundations.

* Equip the students with the basic knowledge of good laboratory practices.

* Introduce the types of molecular interactions, concepts on acids, bases and solutions, and the physical aspects of Biochemistry.

* Understand cell as the basic structural and functional unit of life, structure, and functions of each organelle, transport of molecules across the cell, cellular communications, cell cycle, and cell death.
