SCIENZE BIOMEDICHE DI BASE

Module BIOCHIMICA

Traditional lectures, with the support of slides and audiovisual tools. At the end of the lecture, ample space is given to the comment on the discussed topics.

Should teaching be carried out in mixed modality or remotely, it may be necessary to introduce changes with respect to previous roles, in line with the programme planned and outlined in the Syllabus.

Information for students with disabilities and/or SLD

To guarantee equal opportunities and in compliance with the laws in force, students can ask for a personal interview in order to plan any compensatory and / or dispensatory measures, based on the didactic objectives and specific needs. It is also possible to contact the CInAP contact person (Center for Active and Participated Integration - Services for Disabilities and/or SLD) of competence.

The course includes the minimum basic requirements to be able to follow the lessons and take the final exam. The student attending the Biochemistry course will have to know the fundamental concepts of General and Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Biochemical Propaedeutics and have a good knowledge base of physics and cell biology.

Oral interview. Oral interview. The exam is oral and is carried out at the same time as those related to the courses of Physiology and Biology.

Should the conditions require it, the verification of learning can also be carried out electronically or in writing. In any case, it will always be communicated in good time to students during the course of the lessons.

The interview is aimed at ascertaining the student's reasoning in the context of structural, metabolic and organ biochemistry.

Questions in example: Mutual regulation of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. Isoenzymes in the diagnosis of myocardial and liver diseases. The Calcium Channels in the myocardial sarcomere.
