Master: Biochemistry and its object of investigation. Classification of organisms according to different criteria. Composition of the living matter. Proteins, sugars, fats and their metabolism. Nucleic acids. Biochemicalprocesses and their regulation (enzymes, co-enzymes and hormones). Bio-energy of the cells (anabolism and catabolism).
At the end of this course, students should be able to: know better the principles of the structure of living matter and composition and organization of cells, understand the classification of the basic groups of biomolecules (Amino Acids and Proteins, Carbohydrates, Nucleic Acids, Lipids and Membranes), find ones bearing in the basic metabolic pathways, be acquainted with the mutual biochemical relationships in metabolism and Regulation Principles, know how to explain the principles of energetics of biochemical reactions, metabolic fate of biomolecules, metabolism of amino acids and proteins, metabolism of nucleic acids and proteosynthesis, metabolism of saccharides and lipids, bioenergetic metabolism, membrane transport and special biosynthetic pathways.
