Thematik

In the Biochemistry I subject, the students will study the macromolecules, which build up the eukaryotic cells. They learn about the most important energy providing pathways (glycolysis, citric acid cycle, fatty acid degradation, photosynthesis), and the major biosynthetic pathways (glycogen, lipid, amino acid and nucleotide synthesis). In addition, we will deal with the basic biochemistry of prokaryotic and plant cells, as they are widely used in biotechnology.
