Course objectives
Seminars are used for active practice of the subject in the subject EMBC0111p Biochemistry I - lecture. The aim of the course EMBC0111s Biochemistry I - seminar is to gain knowledge about the basic metabolic processes and pathways taking place at the cellular level. Understanding these processes is the basis for understanding metabolism at the tissue and organ level, which is studied in the follow-up course Biochemistry II.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course the student will be able to:
- understand the properties and function of enzymes
- describe the basic catabolic and anabolic pathways of cellular metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins and their connections
- understand the principles of obtaining, using and storing energy at the cellular level
- describe the function of cell membranes and transport processes on the membrane
- describe the basic features of protein synthesis, starting with the processes of replication and transcription, translation and posttranslational modification
- understand the relationship between the structure and function of proteins
- describe the function of hemoglobin in transporting oxygen and maintaining acid-base balance
- discuss the principles of some diseases at the molecular level
