Course objectives
At the end of the course students have knowledge that is necessary for understanding of chemical principles applied in further study subjects, especially in biochemistry.He/she understand solution properties and basic physico-chemical laws. Describes the properties of elements and inorganic compounds important for medicine, nutrition and toxicology. Discuses the structure of compounds and reactions taking part in metabolism and organic compounds that have importance in toxicology.
Syllabus
  • Chemical reactions, kinetics, chemical equilibrium. The driving force of chemical reactions, free Gibbs energy.
  • Solutions of substances. Dissociation of electrolytes, the equilibria in electrolyte solutions.Precipitation reactions.
  • Protolytic reactions: acids and bases, pH values, hydrolysis of salts, buffers.
  • Oxidation-reduction reactions, redox potentials, the e.m. force of a voltaic cell and the relation to the reaction free energy change.
  • Essential macroelements important for living matter, general properties of them and of some of their compounds.
  • Carbon compounds: their constitution, configuration, isomerism, and conformation. Types of organic compounds, the principals of nomenclature. Hydrocarbons, major types, structures, reactivity.
  • Derivatives of hydrocarbons: alcohols, thioalcohols, phenols, carbonyl compounds, and carboxylic acids.
  • Substituted carboxylic acids and derivatives of the acids (esters, amides, anhydrides, halides).
  • Amines and the other derivatives of hydrocarbons.
  • Heterocyclic compounds and biochemically important derivatives. Alkaloids.
  • Structures and properties of monosaccharides. Simple sugar derivatives. Oligosaccharides, polysaccharides.
  • Heteroglycosides. Nucleosides, nucleotides, structures of nucleic acids.
  • Fatty acids and alcohols in lipids. Triacylglycerols and waxes. Phospholipids and glycolipids.
  • Icosanoids. Isoprenoids. Steroids, structures of representative compounds.
  • Standard and other alpha-amino acids, structures and common properties, polarity. Peptides, some groups of peptides exhibiting biological activity.
  • Proteins, main features of the structure of globular, fibrous, and membrane proteins. Glycoproteins. Haemoproteins, haem and other tetrapyrrols.
Literature
Teaching methods
Teaching form are lectures. Supplementary subjects are seminars and practicals (VSLC011c and VSLC011c).
Assessment methods
The examination has two parts. First part is a simple test on computer, the second part is oral. test includes 25 basal questions from all topics, incliding calculations of concentration, pH and osmolarity. Sample test will be available till the end of october on IS. For continuation with oral examination is required at least 13 correct answers.Oral examination has 3 questions. Student must have course-unit credit of seminar and practicals in the day of exam. List of examination questions and other instruction you can find in the section Study materials.
