Topic

The subject gives an overview of the molecular processes occurring in living organisms from two major aspects. On the one hand, following the subject -Introduction to Biochemistry, it describes the metabolism of the four major types of biomolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, amino ac ids/proteins and nucleotides /nucleic acids) along with the indirect enzymatic regulation of

these processes. On the other hand, built on the subject -Molecular Cell Biology, accounts for the molecular processes responsible for the transmission of information within the living organisms from molecular biological (DNA-RNA-protein-metabolite) as well as hormonal point of view. The subject lies down the foundations of the Pharmacology and Clinical Chemistry.
