Annotation -
The course covers the whole area of a basic biochemistry. The lectures are largely based on the explanation why and how the chemicals undergo enzyme catalyzed reactions. Particular metabolic pathways are presented in the context of the entire metabolism. The structure-function relationships of involved chemical compounds is emphasized.

Lectures are provided to Czech students in Czech. The course for Erasmus students is in English. Depending on the number of enrolled students, the course is organized in the form of lectures or in another way (colloquia, consultations).
