| Students know the principles of biochemistry (k1), can describe and explain structures of biomolecules (k2), can apply the gained knowledge in other courses and their research (k3), recognize the structures and structural motifs of biomolecules (k4).
|
Advanced Biochemical Pathways: Includes detailed study of the biosynthesis and degradation of nucleotides, porphyrins, and other key biomolecules.
Signaling Pathways and Cellular Communication: Examination of the molecular mechanisms by which cells communicate and respond to external stimuli, including receptors, second messengers, and signaling cascades.
Regulation of Metabolic Processes: Understanding hormonal signaling and regulation of enzymatic reactions.
Biochemistry of Tissues and Organs: Basic principles of the biochemistry of various tissues and organs.
Regulation of Gene Expression: Understanding epigenetic mechanisms, transcription factors, and post-transcriptional modifications.
Secondary Metabolites: Study of organic compounds that are not directly involved in the growth, development, or reproduction of an organism but have important ecological functions, such as alkaloids, terpenes, and phenols. These compounds can serve as protection against predators, parasites, or as attractants for pollinators.
