| Aim: To give an extensive knowledge of the main topics in biochemistry, providing a basis for solution of both theoretical and practical problems in food biotechnology. |
Contents: Molecular biochemistry: Design of proteins, lipids, nucleic acids and polysaccharides from small biomolecules. Conformation and function of macromolecules including reactive centers of enzymes and their catalytic mechanisms, enzyme kinetics, coenzymes, inhibition and regulation of enzymatic processes.
Cellular organization: Macromolecules, membranes and subcellular structures as the basis for understanding biological functions.
Dynamic biochemistry: Cellular metabolism. Degradation of macromolecules, carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins, and energy formation and conservation. Electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation. Photosynthetic energy production. Biosynthesis of carbohydrates and lipids. Nitrogen metabolism in the cell and biosynthesis of amino acids and nucleotides. Integration and regulation of metabolism at the cellular level and in organs and organisms. |
Remarks: Calculation exercises in E2. The course has been established in connection with the bachelor of Food Science and Technology program and is reserved for students on this program. The course is compulsory for students on the bachelor program in Food Science and Technology. Other DTU-students are referred to course 25111.
