Key words
Biochemistry
Objectives
Provide the students the knowledge and understanding in the biochemical composition of organisms and the biochemical processes.
Topics
The course reviews and explores:
- The constitution and the role of the biopolymers: the proteins, the polysacharides, the lipids and the nucleic acids.
- The structure and physiology of the proteins in organisms.
- The enzymes: catalysis, activity, inhibition, classification and applications.
- The metabolism of the saccharides: photosynthesis, metabolism of the hexoses and the polysaccharides.
- Formation and breakdown of lipids.
- Introduction in regulation of the metabolisms.
Prerequisites
General organic chemistry and stereochemistry. Cell biology and basic knowledge of genetics.
Final Objectives
The final objectives of the course Biochemistry are a basic knowledge of the characteristics, interest, interaction and applications of important biomolecules. This knowledge is important for most of the later courses.
