After successful completion of the course, students are able to
explain and demonstrate the network of a broad spectrum of sicientific disciplines in biochemistry and molecular biology including:
- the biosynthesis, maturation, transport and degradation of proteins
- aspects of protein chemistry including structure-activity relationships and enzymology
- the transport of molecules into, in and out of the cell
- anabolic and catabolic reactions
- a summary on secondary metabolism and its regulation
- a summary on immunology
Biosynthesis, maturation, transport and degradation of proteins (translation, glycosylation and other modifications; secretory pathway, proteosome); Protein chemistry, examples of structure-activity relationships (dehydrogenases, oxidases, coat proteins, receptors, immunoglobulins and immune response); enzymology (catalytic mechanisms, kinetics of multiple substrate reactions); transport of molecules into the cell; anabolic and catabolic reactions (carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, nucleotides) and their regulation; Secondary metabolism and its regulation, immunology
Lecture with Power point presentation
The lecture is carried out in response to the current Covid measures in distance learning. The commented slide material is made available every week via TUWEL. In addition, question units are offered online after a few units.
