Course objectives
Graduate in chemistry has knowledge that is necessary for understanding of chemical principles applied in further study subjects, especially in biochemistry. General chemistry provides students with understanding of solution properties and basic physico-chemical laws. Inorganic chemistry gives the overview of properties of elements and inorganic compounds important for medicine, nutrition and toxicology. Organic and bioorganic chemistry enable students to become familiar with compounds and reactions taking part in metabolism and with 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.
