- Course objectives
- At the end of the course students have knowledge that is necessary for understanding of chemical principles applied in further study subjects, especially in biochemistry.He/she understand solution properties and basic physico-chemical laws. Describes the properties of elements and inorganic compounds important for medicine, nutrition and toxicology. Discuses the structure of compounds and reactions taking part in metabolism and organic compounds that have importance in toxicology.
- 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.
They will be able to apply general physicochemical laws to processes in living organisms.
They will be able to describe the chemical properties of the most important biogenic elements and essential compounds of importance in medicine, nutrition and toxicology. They will be able to describe and discuss the properties and reactions of organic and bioorganic compounds important for the understanding of biochemical processes - Syllabus
- Biochemistry for bacherols follows secondary school chemistry and broadens the subject considerably to the level required for the study of successive subjects. There are covered the basic principles of chemistry as well as the survey of biochemically important inorganic and organic compounds. A special attention is paid to the structures and chemistry of saccharides, lipids, steroids, aminoacids, proteins, nucleotides and nucleic acids. Biochemical part deals with the metabolism of nutrients including biochemistry of muscles and vision.
