TE211 - BIOCHEMISTRY

The course aims to provide the student with the key to understand from a physical, chemical and biological point of view the main metabolic processes that take place within our body, including the processes that lead to the detoxification of drugs and harmful compounds deriving from environmental pollution. In doing this, the course will emphasize the relationships between structure and function of the main classes of biological molecules, metabolic regulation and the molecular and cellular level, identifying the connection between the various processes and organs and emphasizing the evolutionary aspect of biochemical processes. The main experimental methods used in a modern biochemistry laboratory will also be introduced.
Communication skills: at the end of the course, the student must be able to use the technical language of Biochemistry in the cultural and scientific context of competence.
