Introduction
The course introduces the aspects of mammalian biochemistry including proteins
(protein structure, biologically important peptides – fate of proteins), amino acids
as precursors for biosynthesis of biomolecules (e.g. neurotransmitters , nucleotides,
…) – carbohydrates (glycoproteins and proteoglycans - glucose transporters) –
lipids (physiologically important lipid molecules – cholesterol and steroids –
lipoprotein metabolism) – enzymology (enzyme kinetics – regulation enzyme
inhibitors as drugs) - hemoglobin and porphyrins (Hb derivatives and types –
metabolism of Hb and regulation) – biological oxidation and ATP synthesis –
clinical correlations.
