Biochemistry I is a basic training course of the Degree in Biology which has a main aim that is to provide a general view of the most important biomolecules found in nature, as well as to establish the chemical, molecular and genetic basis of the biological processes. Through the history of this scientific discipline, the biochemists have worked to reveal the chemical and physical principles that support the biological processes. Therefore, Biochemistry establishes the knowledge basis to be able to identify these processes. This course provides the basis both for the comprehension of other courses of the Degree as well as for the development of the future career of the graduate in Biology.
