Course contents
The aim of Biochemistry is to understand life in molecular terms. The goal this course is
possibility to describe the structure, organization, and functions of living matter in molecular
terms. What are the chemical structures of the components of living matter? How do the
interactions of these components give rise to organized supramoleculars structures? How
does living matter extract energy from its surroundings in order to remain alive? How are
chemical reactions controlled inside living cells? There are the kinds of questions beeing
answered by someone have been finished this course.
To understand Biochemistry, one must first study basic chemistry and cell biology. In addition,
an understanding of the basic thermodynamic principles is essential for learning how plants
derive energy from sunlight and how animals derive energy from food.
Molecular architecture of living matter: 1. Two types nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), – propertis
and functions nucleotides and nucleic acids (replication, transcription, translation). 2.
Proteins – (Amino Acids, peptides and the peptide bonds, polipeptides). The primary level of
protein structure. The three-dimensional structure of proteins. 3. Carbohydrates
(monosacharides, oligosacharides, polysacharides). 4. Lipids, membranes, and cellular
transport. 5. Enzymes: biological catalysts (vitamins as procoenzymes, metals as enzymatic
cofactors, classification of protein enzymes, regulation of enzyme activity). 6. Introduction to
metabolism. Carbohydrate metabolism I. Anaerobic processes in generating metabolic
energy (Glycolysis – reactions and regulation). Metabolic fates of pyruvate. 7. Oxidative
processes: Citric Acid Cycle and Pentose Phosphate Pathway. 8. Electron transport, oxidative
phosphorylation, and oxygen metabolism. 9. Carbohydrate metabolism II. Biosynthesis
(gluconeogenesis, glikogen biosynthesis). 10. Photosyntesis. 11. Lipid metabolism: Fatty
acids, triacylglicerols, and lipoproteins.
