| Objectives |
The course provides a broad array of fundamental knowledge in general biochemistry with respect to structural and functional relationships living organisms. It is based on principal chemistry of organic and inorganic biologically active compounds and on fundamental non-covalent interactions which take place in biological systems on the level of molecules and cells. Structural and functional properties of components which play a role in signaling and energy transmission are emphasized.
