Fundamental Biochemistry and Cytobiochemistry 1200-1CHMPBCW3
Introduction to biochemistry: elements and molecules in living organisms, molecular logic of life, macromolecules and non-covalent weak interactions in an aqueous environment as the basis of their structure and molecular recognition. The unit of biological organization: the cell and its structure. Cellular localization of main processes in living systems. Lipids - definition,structure, function & examples. Membrans and cellular transport. Carbohydrates: definition,structure, properties and function. Structure of nucleic acids and their properties. Eukaryotic genome organization. Eukaryotic DNA replication, transcription and protein biosynthesis (translation). Protein targeting in Eukaryotes. Gene expression regulation. The primary, secondary, three-dimensional and quaternary structure of proteins. Protein motifs nad domains. The relationship between protein structure and its function (hemoglobin and mioglobin). Collagen: the fibrous proteins of the matrix. Post-translational protein modifications.
