Course objectives
The aim of the course is to provide knowledge of chemistry, which is necessary for the understanding of chemical principles applied in other subjects, especially in biochemistry. The student will learn about the properties of the solutions, and general physicochemical laws. The properties of elements and compounds of importance in medicine, nutrition and toxicology are presented. The subject should also provide an overview of the compounds and reactions involved in metabolism and toxicologically relevant organic compounds. Information on the composition and chemical substance of the main materials used in dentistry is presented.
Learning outcomes
Students will be able:
- to understand basics of general, inorganic and organic chemistry to the extent necessary for the further study of biochemistry.
- to apply general physicochemical laws to processes in living organisms.
- to describe the chemical properties of the most important biogenic elements and essential compounds of importance in medicine, nutrition and toxicology.
- to describe and discuss the properties and reactions of organic and bioorganic compounds important for the understanding of biochemical processes.
- to describe and discuss the composition and chemical nature of the main materials used in dentistry.
Syllabus
  • Acid base reactions, basic terms, dissociation of electrolytes, buffers, buffer systems in organism.
  • Energetics of chemical reactions, chemical equilibrium, redox reactions, biochemically important redox reactions.
  • Biologically important elememts and their compounds (selection).
  • Biochemically important reactions of organic compounds (e.g. reactions of alcohols, carboxylic acids, transamination, teh reactions of citric acid cycle).
  • Structure and properties of carbohydrates, polysaccharides, glycoside, nucleosides.
  • Fatty acids, lipids, fosfolipids, glycolipids, steroids, steroidal hormones.
  • Restorative and auxiliary stomatological materials- chemial view.

Teaching methods
Teaching form are lectures. Supplementary subjects are seminars and practicals.
Assessment methods
Student must have course-unit credit of seminar in the day of exam.
Examination from Medical chemistry is only written. The test consists from two parts.
The first part is solved on computers in the computer room of Department of Biochemistry: calculations (concentration, pH, buffers, osmotic pressure) – see seminars
simple questions (multiple choice or free answer)
structural formulas (essential organic and inorganic compounds).
The second part is written and is focused on the active knowledge of structural formulas of the most important compounds, expression of important biochemical reactions by chemical equations and the ability to formulate the basic physico-chemical relationships or to draw graphs. For detailed instructions see Study materials - Information about exam.
Language of instruction
English
Further comments (probably available only in Czech)
The course is taught annually.
