PROFESSOR AYŞE SEMRA KOÇTÜRK

Offered to

Biochemistry

Course Objective

The aim of this course is the acquisition of basic knowledge about metabolism. Trainers will get knowledge about on energy resources of the cell, catabolic reactions, oxidative phosphorylation and metabolism of some building blocks (purine, pyrimidine) and some proteins derived from amino acids, coagulation mechanism and coagulation proteins. All learning outlines will be supported by problem based learning techniques.
