- Course objectives
- Seminars are complementary to Biochemistry lecture (VSBC021p). The knowledge of metabolic pathways and their significance is thoroughly practiced during Biochemistry seminars.
- Syllabus
- Introduction into the metabolism of cells (differences between prokatyotic and eukaryotic cell, compartmentation of metabolic processes, enzyme markers of cell fractions, non-covalent interactions in the cell and their significance). Structure of haemoglobin and its relationship to the function. Hb types in the blood of healthy subjects, HbCO and MetHb, abnormal Hb types. Enzymes - reaction rate, progress curve, the Michaelis plot and Km, enzyme inhibition. Coenzymes, their relationship to vitamins. Written test I (Biochemical methods, haemoglobin, enzymology, coenzymes.) Membrane structure and assembly. Transport across membranes. Metabolism of glucose: Glycolysis under anaerobic and aerobic conditions and the oxidation of pyruvate. Gluconeogenesis. Glycogenesis and glycogenolysis. Metabolism of proteins. Common features of amino acid conversion. The synthesis of urea. Nitrogen balance. Important reactions in amino acid catabolism. Written test II (Membranes, transport across membranes, metabolism of saccharides and amino acids.) Biosynthesis and desaturation of fatty acids. The sources of essential fatty acids. Metabolism of triacylglycerols. Metabolism of phospholipids. Biosynthesis of eicosanoids. Peroxidation of lipids. Written test III (Metabolism of lipids.) The citric acid cycle. The respiratory chain and oxidative phosphorylation. Written test for the students who did not reach the required result in preceding tests. Compensatory lessons, consultation. Credits.
