| Holder(s) : | Didier Cataldo |
|
| Language : | French language |
|
| Course contents : | This course about General Biochemistry brings an overview of chemical reactions ongoing in cells. Program is divised in five parts :
1. Introduction to the cells chemical reactions
2. Protein structure and biological membranes.
3. Metabolism
4. Information storage and utilization
5.Cell mechanical work |
|
| Course objective : | 1. To give information on the broad outline of the chemical reactions being held inside the cell, insisting on biochemistry of proteins (a Molecular Biology course will be given later)
2. To allow the students to approach thereafter the courses of general and human physiology on a solid basis of knowledge in biochemistry.
3. To approach the actual techniques used in the laboratories, once again while insisting on the techniques of handling of proteins.
4. To develop the critical point of view of the students by exposing the facts pro and con regarding selected hypothesis. |
|
| Prerequisites : | General biology, general cytology, chemistry and physics |
|
| Workshops : | Three sessions are organized during the six-month period and which relate to the techniques of handling of proteins: chromatography, proteins quantification, enzymatic activity measurement and electrophoresis |
