In the current world, recombinant DNA technology, protein chemistry and the structural biology have come together to reveal the molecular mechanisms of fundamental biological processes.

According to the same document, Biochemistry (HAN 202) should be taught in year II. This is sensible because by, then the students should have done HAN 103 Basic chemistry in year I. No document supports the fact that Biochemistry HNS 103 is and has been taught at Year 1, and that the course content (see below) does not cover any elements of chemistry. This has posed a lot of difficulties in covering all the topics to be shown within the stipulated 70 hrs of lectures and 30 hrs of practicals. Reports coming from some of the departments like clinical chemistry and Haematology, indicate that after level one Biochemistry “crash” programme, these students find it easy to learn in the said departments. Biochemistry helps BSc. Nursing students to assimilate many other subjects related to health, diseases and management of the same. BSc Nursing students finish and leave the department of Biochemistry at the end of second quarter of their year 1 studies. A talk with some of them later, reveals that they do appreciate the succient summary of the Biochemistry course on which more advanced study of their BSc degree courses are based. |
