Main themes
Introduction to basic molecules of biochemistry.
1. Amino acids and proteins
2. Carbohydrates
3. Lipids and biological membranes
4. Nucleic acids
Function of bio molecules.
1. Structure of proteins
2. Enzymes
Notions of molecular biochemistry
- Replication of DNA
- Transcription of DNA into RNA
- Nucleic acid-protein complexes
- Biosynthesis of proteins
The practical work illusrates the properties of the main classes of biomolecules studied in the theoretical course and initiatee students to a certain number of techniques used currently in biochemistry.
