Introduction
The course introduces the aspects of the structure of proteins – Biologically active
peptides – Protein turnover – Amino acids as
precursors for biosynthesis of biomolecules (e.g. neurotransmitters –nucleotides,
…) – Structurally and physiologically important lipids – Lipoprotein metabolism –
Carbohydrates and connective tissue – Enzymes (theories of enzyme action –
enzyme kinetics – inhibition
and regulation of enzyme activity – clinical correlations) – ATP synthesis from
reduced metabolites (electron transport chain – inhibitors – uncouplers) –
Hemoglobin and myoglobin (structure – synthesis and metabolism – clinical
correlations)
