| Aim | The aim of this committee is to introduce biologically important molecules acting in the structure and function of the cell and the chemical reactions taking place in the cell for the survival of the cell. It also aims to provide understanding the important biochemical molecules (such as DNA, RNA, ATP, cAMP, proteins, peptides, amino acids, major hormones etc.) and their functions in living systems and comprehend biochemical transformations of these important molecules. |
| Course Content | This course contains; Medical Biology and Genetics: Basic structure and functions of proteins, Genetic material of the cell, DNA, chromosomes and genome, DNA replication, repair and recombination, Transfer of genetic information from DNA to protein, Control mechanisms of gene expression and cellular genetic switches, Advanced molecular techniques, Molecular fundamental biology and clinical applications of techniques,Physiology: An overview of physiology, including definitions and applications. Functions of the cell membrane,Transport of substances across the cell membrane, Cell volume regulation, Mechanics of the cell,Principles of Scientific Research and Access to Information: Definition and principles of scientific research, Types and stages of scientific research, Definition of scientific publication, Types of scientific publication, Access to electronic data sources, Scientific data analysis,Biophysics: Physics and its branches, physical quantities, SI unit system and general equations, Introduction to biophysics, definition of biophysics, differences and common points between physics and biophysics,Organic Chemistry: Alkyl halides, nucleophilic substitution reactions, organic compounds containing CO and CS, Acidity-basicity, carboxylic acids, organic compounds containing C=O, organic compounds containing N, Aromatic compounds, Biomolecules: carbohydrates, lipids, Biomolecules: amino acids, peptides, Biomolecules: proteins and enzymes, enzyme kinetics,Biochemistry: the molecular meaning of life. |
