One of the following is required: (1) 60 credits of which at least 40 credits in chemistry including 10 credits in organic chemistry and 5 credits in biochemistry, or (2) 60 credits of which at least 40 credits in biology, together with 10 credits in organic chemistry and 5 credits in biochemistry, or (3) 60 credits within the Upper Secondary School Teacher Education Programme of which at least 30 credits in chemistry including 10 credits in organic chemistry and 5 credits in biochemistry.
The course builds on knowledge from previous chemistry courses, in particular biochemistry ones, and will give a deeper knowledge and understanding of biochemistry. Chemical structure, molecular organization of biological systems, biomolecular processes, as well as the structure and evolution of proteins and the design of protein function are covered in lectures, seminars, problem-solving exercises and laboratory exercises. Biochemistry experimental methodology training contains analytical and preparative separation techniques.
