Topic

The course deals with biological importance of elements (metals and nonmetals) in the living organisms discussing the effects of common toxic elements. Basic respect of studying the interaction of ions, molecules and biopolymers. It gives a basic knowledge and facilitates to understand certain chapters of medical biochemistry.

Some previous knowledge of biochemistry (at least one semester) is highly recommended.
