DESCRIPTION
During the course, the following topics will be covered:
- The concept of energy and changes in energy during reactions and interactions of molecules.
- Biological macromolecules and the building blocks they are composed of, with particular attention for proteins.
- The most important roles of proteins in our body, in particular catalysis and its regulation.
- The structure of biological membranes and relevant transport processes across them.
- The concepts of catabolism and coupled energy transformations.
- The simulation of cellular processes and the required mathematical tools.
Contact hours listed under a course description may vary due to the combination of lecture-based and independent work required for each course therefore, CEA's recommended credits are based on the ECTS credits assigned by VU Amsterdam. 1 ECTS equals 28 contact hours assigned by VU Amsterdam.
