Program

PREPARATORY CHEMISTRY notions included in the basic knowledge required
1. Atomic structure and periodic properties of the elements: atom, atomic particles; quantum numbers, and orbitals; electronic configuration, periodic table and chemical reactivity of the elements; electronegativity.
2. The chemical bond: molecules and ions; ionic and covalent bond; intermolecular forces; hydrogen bond.
3. Organic chemistry notions: carbon atom properties; hybrid orbitals; organic compounds classification: nitrogen and oxygen functional groups.
BIOCHEMISTRY
1. Constitutive elements of the living matter: polymeric structure of the biological macromolecules.
2. Protein structure and function: aminoacid classification, buffering power, peptide bond, levels of protein structure; fibrous and globular proteins; hemoglobin and myoglobin: structure, function, factors influencing the oxygen bond; hemoglobin variants; enzymes: classification, role in the chemical reactions, regulation of the enzymatic activity.
3. Vitamins: hydro- and lypo-soluble vitamins; co-enzymes.
4. Bio-energetics: metabolism; chemical transformations in the cell; spontaneous and non-spontaneous reactions of the metabolic reactions; ATP as “energy exchange coin”; biologically relevant redox reactions.
5. Carbohydrates structure and metabolism: mono- and disaccharides; polysaccharides; glycoconjugates; glycolysis and its regulation; gluconeogenesis; hints of the penthose phosphate pathway; synthesis of the glycogen.
6. Citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation: mitochondria; acetyl-CoA synthesis; citric acid cycle control; respiratory chain and electron transport; ATP synthesis.
7. Lipids structure and metabolism: structural lipids and biological membranes; cholesterol; stock-reserve lipids; lipids digestion and fatty acid β-oxydation; keton bodies formation; hints of fatty acids biosynthesis.
8. Hints of aminoacid metabolism: transamination and oxidative deamination; hints of the urea cycle.

Didactic methods

Frontal teaching is the exclusive method adopted in this course module.

Learning assessment procedures

The exam of the module will be in oral mode with one or two questions on the structure-function of biomolecules and a question on the main aspects of metabolism

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

The knowledge of the main aspects related to the structure-function of biomolecules and the laws regulating the main metabolic pathways will be evaluated. It will also be assessed the sufficient command of the terminologies useful for illustrating the required topics.
