The textbook is Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry Fourth Edition by Nelson and Cox, available in the Bookstore.

Lectures will be derived from a variety of sources, including the suggested textbook.

The Metabolism lectures formerly found in the 6-hour version of GBCH601 are now available in a separate 2-hour course, GBCH603-Metabolism, to be taught in the Spring Semester
