Learning outcomes

After successful completion of the course, students are able to describe the cell as a chemical system, to explain energetic processes in a cell, to analyse DNA packing in the nucleus, to explicate DNA replication as well as to describe proteins.

Subject of course

1. Components of a cell: from molecules to organelles

2. The cell as a chemical system

  • chemical bonds
  • acids/bases
  • macromolecules: lipids, sugars, nucleic acids, proteins

3. Energy

  • chemical equilibrium
  • energy carriers ATP, GTP, NADH, FADH2
  • glycolysis
  • citric acid cycle
  • electron transport chain
  • ATP synthesis

4. DNA packing in the nucleus

  • DNA double helix
  • nucleosomes
  • chromatin
  • chromosomes

5. DNA Replication

6. Transcription, splicing, RNA interference

7. Translation

8. Proteins

  • properties of the natural amino acids
  • protein folding
  • protein domains
  • protein sorting
  • synthesis of membrane proteins
  • protein glycosylation
  • degradation
