藉由本課程讓學生了解生物科學及生物化學的新發展，並增強學生閱讀國際期刊論文的能力。課程內容涵蓋: Structures of Protein， Protein Folding，及 Chaperons之介紹，並探討Protein Folding 在疾病扮演的角色 (如: Prion disease)。介紹Protein Modification並探討這些 modifications 在 Cell Signaling中扮演的角色。介紹Signal Transduction Pathways 以及 Cancers。
講解Lipids and biological membranes, amino acids, peptides, and antibacterial agents相關之知識， 如: 抗菌機制及抗菌藥物之研發。

This course allows students to understand the new developments in biological sciences and biochemistry, and enhance students' ability to read international journals. The course covers: Introduction to Structures of Protein, Protein Folding, and Chaperons, and explores the role of Protein Folding in disease (such as Prion disease). Introduction to Protein Modification and explore the roles of these modifications in Cell Signaling. Introduction to Signal Transduction Pathways and Cancers.
Explain the knowledge related to Lipids and biological membranes, amino acids, peptides, and antibacterial agents, such as: antibacterial mechanisms and the development of antibacterial drugs.

應用基礎生物化學課程中所學習到各種生物分子的結構與功能之知識，以及生物分子的新陳代謝過程及其相關機轉(mechanisms)之知識，探討目前在國際期刊所發表與生物化學有關之重要研究課題。

The knowledge of the structure and function of various biological molecules learned in the application-based biochemistry course, as well as the knowledge of the new recognition process of biological molecules and its related mechanisms, and explores important research topics currently published in international journals and related biochemistry.
