Course objectives
Biochemistry is the study of the chemical processes (changes) which condition and accompany life in its most varied forms and manifestations, and attemps to explain its essence on a molecular level. Medical biochemistry is biochemistry in use, applied quite specifically in veterinary medicine (for example, the peculiarities of the metabolism of nutrients in invidual species of livestock). Further, in teaching of biochemistry, it is necessary to concentrate on detailed interpretation of selected chapters, that are most significant for the formation of the European profile of a graduate of veterinary university. Practical (laboratory) work where verbal information is confirmed by practical experience is also an integral component of the biochemistry teaching.

Learning outcomes
Basic knowledge of biochemistry forming the basis for follow-up subjects Methods of molecular biology, Biotechnology of drugs, Exercises from drug biotechnology, Pharmacogenomics, Structure and evolution of genomes.

Assessment methods
Successful completion of the course with a written and oral exam. The grade depends mainly on the written part, which consists of a test with 40 questions, 150 points. To pass the course successfully, you must pass the test at 60%. The prerequisite for passing the exam is passing all practical exercises, passing the test from the exercises with 80%, adequate knowledge of biochemical issues and correct preparation of all exercise protocols. At the same time, a short task readiness test will be conducted before each exercise. During the course of study, it is mandatory to complete 4 tests from basic biochemical pathways. Furthermore, the group task of developing 2 chapters of seminars on Biochemistry (Josef Tomandl, Eva Táborská and the team. Biochemistry I : seminars. Brno, 2012. ISBN 978-80-210-5740-1). The written examination test is prepared on the basis of lectures and questions from Biochemistry I-seminar 2012 - see recommended literature. He will then make up the teaching at the time and in the manner determined by the relevant teacher.

Teacher's information
Student requirements Successful completion of the course with a written and oral exam. The grade depends primarily on the written part of the test. To pass the course successfully, you must pass the test at 60%. Requirements for the student's readiness for practical teaching, conditions for passing the test from the practical part of the teaching. During the semester, students are required to demonstrate their readiness for practical teaching according to the requirements set by the head of the discipline at the beginning of the semester. The prerequisite for mastering the subject "BIOCHEMISTRY" is the completion of all practical exercises, adequate knowledge of biochemical issues and the correct preparation of all exercise protocols. At the same time, a short task readiness test will be conducted before each exercise. During the course of study, it is mandatory to complete 4 tests from basic biochemical pathways. The written test is prepared on the basis of lectures and questions from Biochemistry I-Seminars - see recommended literature (Tomandl et al. 2012). In case of poor-quality preparation, the student will be excluded from the exercise, as it could immediately endanger the course of the exercise or cause harm to the health of any of the participants of the practical training. He will then make up the teaching at the time and in the manner determined by the relevant teacher. If the student fails the test, he/she will take the test on a date set by the relevant practical teacher. Absences from practical classes must be substantiated by valid documents. He is responsible for the technical content of the practical exercises in biochemistry, and the guarantor of the discipline ensures the material security and operation of the practical exercises.
The course is also listed under the following terms Autumn 2020, Autumn 2021, Autumn 2023, Autumn 2024.
