大学化学知识融入本科核心课程生物化学的教学刍议

本科的化学基础知识是生命科学专业的核心课程"生物化学"的重要基础.本文在对生物化学与大学化学知识的密切关系进行学理分析的基础上,对无机化学、有机化学、分析化学和物理化学四门课中与生物化学内容密切相关的知识点进行梳理和总结.以肽键、酶作用机制、蛋白质纯化为例,给出化学基础知识对生物化学知识点的关联性.借助第二课堂启迪学生...

Integration of Basic Chemical Knowledge into the Key Undergraduate Course-Biochemistry

The basic knowledge of college chemistry is an important basis for the key undergraduate course-Biochemistry for students majoring in Life Sciences. Based on theoretical analysis of the close relationship between “Biochemistry” and “College Chemistry”, this paper summarized these knowledge nodes to the content of Biochemistry from the four major courses: Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry and Physical Chemistry. We took the peptide bond,mechanism of enzymes and protein purification as examples to show the relevance between the basic knowledge of Chemistry and the knowledge points of Biochemistry, aiming to enlighten the students to understand the importance of the basic knowledge of Chemistry. We also proposed three kinds of teaching pattern for introducing the basic knowledge of “College Chemistry” to “Biochemistry”, including “Described directly by teachers”, “Integrated into contents of Biochemistry” and “Students learning by themselves”, so as to ensure that the students comprehend clearly the essence of “Biochemistry”. Finally we discussed how to culture the students’ ability to think independently and critically. The idea and practice about Biochemistry teaching will benefit the students to grasp the essence of the course and it will also give one new perspective for teachers to carry out teaching reforms in life science courses.
