After successful completion of the course, students are able to explain a broad spectrum of knowledge areas in biochemistry and present them in a networked manner; these include:

- the biosynthesis, maturation, transport and degradation of proteins

- aspects of protein chemistry including structure-activity relationships and enzymology 

- the transport of molecules into, in and out of the cell

- metabolism:

- anabolic and catabolic reactions

- a summary on secondary metabolism and its regulation

- a summary on immunology

Biosynthesis, maturation, transport and degradation of proteins (translation, glycosylation and other modifications; secretory pathway, proteosome); Protein chemistry, examples of structure-activity relationships (dehydrogenases, oxidases, coat proteins, receptors, immunoglobulins and immune response); enzymology (catalytic mechanisms, kinetics of multiple substrate reactions); transport of molecules into the cell; anabolic and catabolic reactions (carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, nucleotides) and their regulation; Secondary metabolism and its regulation, immunology
