Learning Outcomes

The aim of the Biochemistry II course is to introduce the students to the dynamic biochemistry through the lectures of basic topics such as enzyme kinetics, intermediate metabolism of biomolecules therefore it is focused on the chemical and energetic changes occurred during life phenomena. The general concepts of metabolism and bioenergetics are presented firstly since metabolism is the basis of all aspects of life and living creatures also follow the fundamental laws of chemistry and physics. Finally, the student is introduced to the biochemical reactions of the main biochemical pathways and along with their regulatory mechanisms. The expected learning outcome of this course is the understanding of the molecular logic of the metabolic processes and their importance for the functions of life. The laboratory work helps the student to deeply understand the theory through his personal participation in the lab exercises.
