Life is complex and dynamic. All organismsare composed of the same set of chemical elements, primarily carbon, nitrogen,oxygen, hydrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus. Certain biomolecules become linked toform polymers called biomacromolecules. Examples include nucleic acids,proteins and polysaccharides, which are formed from nucleotides, amino acidsand sugars, respectively. Biomacromolecules play crucial biological rolesthrough interacting with other macromolecules or small molecules, which is alsothe basis of normal living processes. Studying the structure ofbiomacromolecules is helpful to understand their functions. It is also animportant means to understand normal living processes and explore the molecularmechanism of disease occurrence and development. This course aims to introduce thestructure characteristics and structure-function relationships of biomacromolecules,that helps students to memorize biomacromolecules’ basic elements, understandthe structure basis of a functional biomacromolecule, an overview of living processesat molecular level. With this course, students will have a knowledge of techniquesused in the structural and functional research of biomacromolecules as well.
