Basic knowledge of the structure and function of the most important biological macromolecules and of the metabolic pathways. Highlight the connections between different metabolic processes as well as the associated bioenergetics changes.
1. Constitutive elements of the living matter: polymeric structure of the biological macromolecules.
2. Structure and function of proteins: amino acids; peptide bond; structural levels of proteins; fibrous proteins and globular proteins; hemoglobin and myoglobin; hemoglobin variants; classification, function and regulation of enzymes.
3. Bioenergetics: metabolism, chemical transformations in the cell; thermodynamics; ATP as energy exchanger; oxidation/reductions.
4. Structure and metabolism of carbohydrates; monosaccharides and disaccharides; polysaccharides; glycolysis and its regulation; gluconeogenesis; penthose phosphate pathway; structure, function and metabolism of glycogen.
5. AcetylCoA. Citric acid cycle; electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation; ATP synthesis.
6. Structure and metabolism of lipids: structural lipids and biological membranes; lipids transport; lipids catabolism and fatty acids beta-oxidation; hints on fatty acids biosynthesis
7. Amino acid metabolism; excretion of the aminic group; urea cycle; metabolism of the carbon chain.
