Objectives of the course

The aim of Biochemistry is to understand life in molecular terms. The goal this course is possibility to describe the structure, organization, and functions of living matter in molecular terms. What are the chemical structures of the components of living matter? How do the interactions of these components give rise to organized supramoleculars structures? How does living matter extract energy from its surroundings in order to remain alive? How are chemical reactions controlled inside living cells? There are the kinds of questions beeing answered by someone have been finished this course.
