Learning outcomes
The course is mostly focused on the relationship between structure and function of biological macromolecules and the main metabolic pathways in which they are involved.
The fundamental objective is to stimulate the student's interest in biomolecular science by highlighting interconnections between biochemical processes and related energetics.
At the end of the Course the student should prove to master scientific terms and notions in order to critically and autonomously evaluate the biochemical processes of life.
Program
- Building blocks of the biological matter: the polymeric structure of biological macromolecules.
The carbon atom, electronic configuration and hybridization states . Classification of organic compounds and functional groups; hydrocarbons; alcohols; thiols; amines; Aldehydes and ketones; Carboxylic acids; Esters and anhydrides. The oxidation state of organic compounds.
- Protein structure and function: structure and physicochemical properties of amino acids. The peptide bond. Protein structure levels; Fibrous protein; Globular proteins. Hemoglobin and myoglobin: structure, function, factors that influence the oxygen bond, hemoglobin variants. Enzymes: reaction rate, enzymatic catalysis; Coenzymes and cofactors; Water-soluble vitamins; Regulation of enzymatic activity.
- Introduction to metabolism. Metabolic pathways, anabolism and catabolism. The chemical equilibrium and Le Chatelier principle; Equilibrium constant. Chemical transformations and energy changes: Gibbs free energy, exo- and endoergonic reactions. Spontaneity of metabolic reactions end equilibria; Molecules with high energy content: ATP. Redox coenzymes; Regulation of metabolism.
- Carbohydrate structure and metabolism: chemistry of monosaccharides, disaccharides, polysaccharides. Digestion. Glycolysis and its regulation; gluconeogenesis; Glycogen synthesis and glycogenolysis. The pentose monophosphate path.
- Citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation: the cycle of citric acid and its regulation; Electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation.
- Lipid structure and metabolism: general aspects and classification. Fatty acid chemistry. Digestion of lipids, β-oxidation of fatty acids; chetonic bodies; Fatty acid biosynthesis.
- Elements of amino acid metabolism: metabolic fate of amino groups; Urea cycle; Carbohydrate backbone metabolism

Examination Methods
The examination relative to the Biochemistry module will be parallel to that relative to the Biology & Genetics module. The final evaluation will take into account the evaluation of each module. The student will pass the exam only in case of a positive evaluation for both modules. The student can decide not to accept the final score and repeat the exam.
In order to pass the final exam relative to the Biochemistry module, students shall demonstrate an appropriate understanding of the basic concepts of biochemistry, from biological macromolecules to metabolic transformations.
Examination (Biochemistry Module)
---------------------------
The exam consists of a written test, structured as follows:
- 16 multiple choice questions, each with four possible answers. Each correct answer scores 1.5 points.
- 2 open questions, to be briefly answered in a limited space. Each open answer is worth 5 points.
The script has a duration of 75 minutes.
Final score (Biochemistry Module)
---------------------------
The final score, in thirty's (/30), is be obtained by summing up the scores of the two parts.

Calendario Esami
in questa pagina verranno pubblicati i calendari degli esami del Corso di Laurea.
Si ricorda che l'applicativo delle iscrizioni agli esami apre le iscrizioni 30 giorni prima della data prevista dell'appello, e le chiude inderogabilmente 3 giorni prima dell'esame fissato.
05.06.2024
Si informano gli studenti che vengono ripubblicati tutti i calendari degli esami con alcune aule d'esame cambiate rispetto alla precedente versione a causa del guasto tecnico che ha coinvolto il piano inferiore della lente didattica motivo per cui le aule di detto piano saranno inagibili per i prossimi mesi.
Gli spostamenti di ufficio delle aule d'esame sono evidenziati dal colore azzurro per quanto riguarda le nuove aule di assegnazione e con le celle in bianco per distinguerle dalla versione precedente del calendari.
Gli altri esami rimangono fermi nelle date, orari e luoghi d’esame non essendo interessati dai cambiamenti resi necessari dal guasto tecnico occorso la settimana scorsa.
Si prega di prendere nota delle variazioni comunicate;
