| Detailed information |
| Original study plan |
Bachelor's programme Biological Chemistry 2023W |
| Objectives |
Course aims at introduction of general biochemistry for students of the Biological Chemistry bachelor study programme. The course provides a broad array of fundamental knowledge of structural and functional biochemistry which are essential for understanding of other subjects in Biological Chemistry curriculum. In the course framework, biochemistry is given as chemistry of non-binding/non-covalent interactions which take place in biological systems on the level of molecules and cells. Structural and functional properties of the components which play a role in the transmission of energy as well as signals are emphasized.
