Learning objectives
The Biological Chemistry course integrates with the Molecular Biology course by focusing on the role of proteins and enzymes in the regulation of metabolic and bioenergetic processes of the cell and the entire organism. In particular, the teaching objectives are:
to provide an explanation of the functioning of the regulation of enzyme activity in complex metabolic systems.
to illustrate the composition and functioning of cell membranes, transport systems and signal transduction systems applied to metabolic regulation.
To explain the cellular metabolic pathways associated with the degradation and biosynthesis of carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids and nucleotides. Description of clinical pathological aspects associated with alterations in enzyme function and alterations in specific metabolic pathways.
To illustrate the mechanisms of neuroendocrine regulation of the body's bioenergetic metabolism and mechanisms of body weight homeostasis, and their associated pathological aspects.
The MOLECULAR BIOLOGY course aims to:
provide an understanding of the fundamental processes of DNA science and the flow of information leading from DNA to RNA and proteins;
illustrate the principles of the mechanisms of functioning and regulation of these processes;
provide knowledge and application of the scientific method, through descriptions of experiments that have elucidated molecular biological mechanisms;
gain an understanding of the main molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of gene expression;
gain an understanding of recombinant DNA technologies and the potential they offer in the field of modern biomedicine by describing potential applications in the medical field, including, inter alia, research, diagnostics, gene therapy and genome editing.
Prerequisites and basic notions
Since this is a first-year course, there are no specific prerequisites other than those required for access to the second semester of the degree course.
Bibliography
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The weighted average will be taken into consideration based on the credits of the two modules, which may be modified based on the evaluation of individual instructors. Grades will be out of 30.
