Learning Objectives

The course of Molecular biology aims to provide to the students the basis to understanding the physical, chemical and biological contexts in which molecules, reactions and metabolic pathways play their role. Particular attention will be given to the structure and function relationship of the major classes of macromolecules as also to the metabolic regulation at the molecular and cellular level. In order to stimulate student interest the topics will be explained emphasizing the logical and consequential interconnections emphasizing the clinical aspects and introducing experimental methods. At the end of the present course the student will understand the structure-function relationships of the main biological molecules, essential biochemical mechanisms that underlie a proper metabolic function and the consequences of their alterations.
