Topic
The two-semester biochemistry course provides the essential fundamental biochemistry knowledge for the pharmaceutical students. This course deals with the metabolic pathways of the living cell: the reactions, steps and regulation of these pathways. In the second semester besides to learn the pathways of amino acid and nucleptid metabolism, students will synthetize their biochemical knowledge of the main metabolic pathways, as well as the biochemistry of organs. We will pay special attention to the steps of biotransformations, which play important role in the metabolism of drugs. In the second half of the semester students will study the most important chapters of pathobiochemistry.
