APPLIED BIOCHEMISTRY

The course of Applied Biochemistry is a part of teaching or course-integrated Biochemistry-Applied Biochemistry.
The Course aims to enable the student to know and understand the general principles of experimental biochemistry, biological materials, principles and equipment used for analytical and preparative purposes including for the purpose of allowing the student the ability to use the knowledge and understanding gained to understand the significance of biochemical investigation, discipline-based research, and appropriated the principles and methods normally used in biochemical laboratory.
LEARNIG OUTCOMES:
The student at the end of the Course, using the knowledge of Organic Chemistry previously acquired, must demonstrate knowledge and understanding about:
-material used in biochemical experiments
-preparative and analytical separation techniques
-spectroscopic techniques
-techniques based on biospecific interactions
In addition, students, applying the knowledge and understanding acquired, shall be able,even collaborating with other professionals, to help explain:
-how to investigate the mechanism of action of a drug
-investigate as to understanding the molecular basis of diseases
-how to study the properties of an enzyme marker of a disease
-how to measure an antigen in a biological fluid complex.
The student must have sufficient technical language to explain the various stages of extraction, separation,purification, molecular and functional characterizatio of macromolecules of biochemical interest.
