- Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.
- fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- Dentistry (programme LF, M-ZL) (2)
- Course objectives
- The aim of the course is to introduce students to the basic metabolic pathways and processes occurring at the cellular level in the human organism.
- Learning outcomes
- Upon completion of the course, student will be able to:
- understand the meaning of basic chemical concepts and apply them in describing biochemical processes in an organism.
- discuss the properties and functions of enzymes.
- describe the basic catabolic and anabolic pathways of cellular metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins.
- characterize the principles of energy acquisition, utilization, and storage in the cell.
- explain protein synthesis, beginning with the processes of replication and transcription, including posttranslational modifications.
- understand the relationship between the structure and function of proteins, e.g. haemoglobin, collagen, elastin.
- characterize the causes of some diseases at the molecular level. - Syllabus
