Objectives
- to know the structural composition and the most important properties of sugars, proteins, fats and nucleotids.
- to know the working mechanism, properties and classification of enzyms and to interpret their application in clinical chemistry.
- to learn the most important steps of the vital metabolic processes and to explain the causes and effects of dysfunctions.
