Course objectives
Biochemistry for bacherols follows secondary school chemistry and broadens the subject considerably to the level required for the study of successive subjects. The atention is focused on understanding physico-chemical processes important for biological systems as well as the survey of biochemically important inorganic and organic compounds. A special attention is paid to the structures and chemistry of saccharides, lipids, steroids, amino acids, proteins, nucleotides and nucleic acids. Biochemical part deals with the metabolism of nutrients and its regulation.Student should understand how energy is generated, used, and stored by the various organs of the body.
