Aim
The course is expected to give the student an advanced knowledge of protein structure function relations, intermediary metabolism and its regulation, and hence ability to understand and resolve biological problems.
Contents
The course deals with the following objects: Structure, function, modification, secretion and evolution of selected proteins; enzymatic mechanisms; structural proteins; metabolism of glycogen, fatty acids, phospholipids, steroids, amino acids, nucleotides; proteolytically regulated physiological systems; and the immune system. The laboratory course illustrate selected aspects of protein purification, characterization; protein structure and of protein folding.
