The aim of the course Biochemistry I is to introduce cell composition and to characterize structure, properties and function of basic groups of biomolecules, e.g. amino acids, proteins, saccharides, lipids and nucleic acids. Further, structure of biomemrbanes and types of membrane transport are explained and basic principles of enzyme catalysis, kinetics and regulation of enzyme activity are elucidated. Next, methods of isolation and characterization of biopolymers are introduced and some applications including enzyme engineering and genetic engineering are discussed.
