Course Objective

The course aims to provide an advanced understanding of the core principles and topics
of Biochemistry and their experimental basics.
The principal aim of this lecture is to provide knowledge in general biochemistry
sufficient for a medical laboratory technician. Some of the topics covered in the
lecture include information that will ultimately be used in the student s future field.
In order to lead a better understanding of the structures and functions of the
biomolecules, the formation of three-dimensional molecular structures will be studied
in detail. For this purpose, the topics of molecular structure , mole concept and
chemical bonding will be studied comprehensively. In addition apprehension of the
functional groups constituting the biomolecules and their properties will be provided.
A general classification of chemical reactions participated in biochemical processes
will be made along with a discussion about the basic knowledge anticipating their
phyisiological bases (properties of the reaction media, temperature, pH and buffer)
fundemental to their process. Chemical kinetics and catalysis will be studied in order
to make the enzymes which are biological catalysts be understood. Energy is one of the
necessities of life. In order to give a better understanding of this concept, the
functions of chemical thermodynamics such as intrinsic energy , enthalpy ,
entropy , and free energy will be studied and be associated with biological
processes.
