Learning Outputs

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1. will have basic knowledge on both metabolic functions of different organisms (humana, plants, etc. ) and its control. To be able to make comparisons between species.
2. will be able to design new experiments to find solutions to different biochemical problems, based on knowledge at hand. To run those experiments and extrapolate the results for a possible solution.
3. will gain the necessary background to qualify for advanced work and experimental studies in various fields like biophysics, neurochemistry, clinical biochemistry, enzymology, pharmaceutical chemistry and cell biology.
4. will learn about the recent experimental techniques in the field of biochemistry.
5. will learn about the most recent and important tecniques (mass spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction analysis) in the field of biochemistry which also have applications in other scientific fields.

Course Content

Information on the cell as the unit of structure and function is given. Chemistry of the major constituents of the cell, energy generating and synthetic pathways and their regulation is covered.
