Course content

Biosynthesis of: triglycerides, phospholipids and isopentenyl derived lipids. Metabolism of amino acids, porphyrins and nucleotides. Regulation of the central metabolism on different levels: Substrate level, allostery, covalent modification, hormonal regulation, amplification cascade and signal transduction. Regulation on gene level: control and translation. Integrated metabolism and metabolic profiles in specific organs.

Learning outcome

After finishing this course the students are expected to:

  • Have an overview of the metabolisms of the most important groups of biomolecules (reactions and coenzymes).
  • Have a basic understanding of the mechanisms that regulate these processes on different levels.
  • Have knowledge about basic biochemical methods/techniques.
  • Have developed the ability to use this knowledge and understanding to solve relevant problems.

Learning methods and activities

Guided pre-lecture preparations. Lectures with discussions. Mandatory exercises with approved reports. Self-study. The expected number of hours spent on organized activities (lectures and exercises) + self-study is 210 hours.

Compulsory assignments

  • Exercises

Further on evaluation

If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.
