Course objectives
Subject is complementary to Medical Chemistry, Dental Materials - lecture (aZLLC011p). The knowledge of general, inorganic, and (bio)organic chemistry, required in the end of semester, is thoroughly practiced during seminars.
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.
- to apply general physicochemical laws to processes in living organisms.
- to describe the chemical properties of the most important biogenic elements and essential compounds of importance in medicine, nutrition and toxicology.
- to describe and discuss the properties and reactions of organic and bioorganic compounds important for the understanding of biochemical processes.
