Biochemistry Syllabus YEAR I Paper I BIOMOLECULES UNIT I : BIOCHEMISTRY OF CELL (12 Lectures) Definition and scope of biochemistry, cellular basis of life, molecular composition of cells, elements and compounds of life; Biomembranes - plasma membrane and membranes of sub-cellular organelles. Biochemical functions of cell organelles (revise your knowledge of ultrastructure of cell as it shall not be discussed); molecular logic of cell; unit of length used in cell biology and biochemistry; suitability of organic molecules as biomolecules, dimensions of cellular molecules and their packing in the cell. Origin of Life: Time scale of chemical and biological evolution; some working assumptions for origin of life, conditions leading to abiotic origin and organic compounds, current concepts of origin of life. Water as Solvent of Life: Physical properties and hydrogen bonding of H2O; structure of liquid water and its solvent properties, hydrophobic interactions; ionisation of H2O, ion product of water, the pH scale, definition of buffer, relationship between pH and pKa (Henderson-Hasselbach equation); fitness of aqueous environment for living organisms. UNIT II : PROTEINS AND ENZYMES (14 Lectures) Proteins ![]() Enzymes: Concept of enzyme nature of enzymes catalysed reaction, active site of enzymes, Michaelis-Menton equation, effect of temp & pH; role of co-enzymes, prosthetic groups, activator and inhibitors in enzyme catalysed reaction.
