The main objective of this course is to teach the building blocks of biological systems, their functions and requirements and to enable students to benefit from this basic knowledge with engineering approaches.

1. Cell, organelles, types of reactions in cells and the importance of water in terms of these reactions and osmosis process and its role in buffer systems
2. To learn properties of amino acids, charges, titrations, polypeptide formation, protein separation, different levels of structure in proteins and structure-function relationship
3. Quantification of protein-ligand interaction and enzyme-substrate relationships, explanation of enzyme mechanism and types of inhibition with models
4. To gain insight into the building blocks of polysaccharides, types of polysaccharides, structural and functional differences, critical roles of glycoconjugates
