Learning outcomes

By the end of the course students should be able to:
1. Understand the basis for the molecular structure of different biochemical
compounds;
2. Understand the biosynthesis of basic biochemical “building blocks”;
3. Understand the conformation, dynamics, and function of proteins;
4. Understand the generation and storage of metabolic energy;
5. Understand overall aspects of the integration of metabolic processes;
6. Have developed the skills to accumulate, integrate, and apply biochemical
information in their own field of study

Program

Course Description:
Chemistry of biomolecules with emphasis on the bioenergetics and control of metabolic
pathways via regulation of specific enzymes.
Specific Coverage:
I. Proteins, protein structure and mechanism.
II. Enzyme mechanism and Enzyme kinetics
III. Metabolism: Carbohydrates, conversion of sugars, anaerobic and aerobic
metabolism. Fat catabolism. Amino acid degradation.
IV. Anabolic Pathways: Carbohydrates, fats and lipids, amino acids and steroids.
V. DNA replication

Examination Methods

Modalita’ esame:
L’esame finale (scritto per gli studenti di Bioinformatica) verterà su tutti gli argomenti del programma. Lo studente dovrà rispondere ad una serie di domande a risposta aperta, dimostrando di aver compreso e di essere in grado di utilizzare i concetti fondamentali di ogni argomento.
