The course From molecules to cells provides a definition of life in the context of biochemistry and cell biology. It
covers the basics of molecular mechanisms behind the complexity, sustainability and heredity of the living
organisms including evolutionary principles and phenomenon of the origin of life. It covers the biology of
prokaryotes and eukaryotes emphasizing the interplay between the structure and function on the seminal topics
like biosynthesis and transformation of cellular components and organelles; cell growth and oncogenic
transformation; transport, receptors, and cell signaling; the cytoskeleton, the extracellular matrix, and cell
movements; chromatin structure and RNA synthesis. The course From molecules to cells set the stage for
follow-up courses, particularly From cells to organisms. The course is built from topical blocks (see Syllabus)
each of them consisting of lecture (3h) and workshop focused on primary literature as a Q&A session(1h).

Požadavky ke zkoušce

Poslední úprava: doc. RNDr. František Půta, CSc. (06.02.2022)

Final mark is based on the oral examination (67%) and results of tests taken during the course (33%). Oral examination takes place during the examination period and students must first obtain the evaluation for Q&A sessions and take-home exercises.
