Learning outcomes
The student should after the course
- have a broadened and deepened knowledge of biochemistry including ongoing biochemical research
- have an improved ability to acquire and present material from primary sources of scientific information
Content
The expression of the genome in terms of structure and function: molecular structures and their transformation at all levels, conversion of energy and matter, catalysis and regulation of biochemical reactions, signal transduction, and the mediation of information.
The course addresses both practical and theoretical aspects of current biochemical research.
Instruction
The course consists of independent theoretical study followed by seminar presentations at regular intervals. Active participation in the seminars is obligatory. Each participant shall also carry out a special literature project.
Assessment
An oral examination is given at the end of the course (10 credits). The special literature project is presented both orally and in written form and corresponds to 5 credits.
