Biochemistry was a year-long academic course I took during my undergraduate years at Oregon State University. It was a sequence professional course to meet the requirements of majors in Biochemistry and Biophysics.
- Professors: Dr. Michael I. Schimerlik, Dr. Tory M. Hagen, Dr. Christopher K. Mathews, and Dr. George D. Pearson.
- Textbook: Biochemistry, Christopher K. Mathews, K. E. van Holde, and Kevin G. Ahern, Addison Wesley Longman, San Fransisco, 3rd Edition (2000).
The course was divided into three terms and there was also separate courses for the laboratory.
