Course objectives
Seminars are complementary to Medical chemistry-lecture (BVLC011p). The knowledge of general, inorganic, and (bio)organic chemistry, is thoroughly practiced during Medical chemistry-seminars. The aim is to obtain knowledge needed for further study of biochemistry and chemistry in the program nutritional therapy.
Learning outcomes
Students will be able to understand basics of general, inorganic and organic chemistry to the extent necessary for the further study of biochemistry.
They will be able to apply general physicochemical laws to processes in living organisms.
They will be able to describe the chemical properties of the most important biogenic elements and essential compounds of importance in medicine, nutrition and toxicology. They will be able to describe and discuss the properties and reactions of organic and bioorganic compounds important for the understanding of biochemical processes
