Course objectives
The seminars are a supplement to the subject Medical Chemistry-lecture EMLC0111p. Within its framework, knowledge of general, inorganic, organic and bioorganic chemistry is applied and practiced.
Learning outcomes
The student will:
- understand the basics of general, inorganic and organic chemistry to the extent necessary for further study of biochemistry - be able to apply general physicochemical laws to processes in living organisms - be able to describe the properties of the most important biogenic elements and compounds important in medicine, nutrition and toxicology - be able to describe and discuss the properties and reactions of organic and bioorganic compounds important for understanding biochemical processes.
Syllabus
  • Properties of particles, moles and molar quantities, composition of solutions, basic calculations.
  • Electrolyte dissociation, ion activity, ionic strength, osmotic pressure, osmolality and osmolarity.
  • Protolytic reactions and equilibria, pH calculations of solutions, buffers.
  • Non-binding interactions, adsorbents, surfactants. Slightly soluble salts, product of solubility.
  • Reaction kinetics, law of chemical equilibrium.
  • Gibbs energy. Redox reactions and equilibria.
  • International and Latin names of compounds.
  • Properties and transformations of characteristic groups (-OH, -SH, -NH 2 , -CO-, -CHO) in compounds.
  • Properties and transformations of carboxylic acids and their derivatives.
  • Biochemically important heterocyclic compounds, relation to vitamins and cofactors.
  • Properties and structure of carbohydrates.
