Topic
Introduction to Biochemistry includes the topics of organic and bio-organic chemistry along with basic biochemistry which are necessary for dentistry students. It deals with the structure, chemistry, and cellular metabolism of essential biomolecules like proteins, carbohydrates and lipids. The purpose of practices is to consider the chemistry of bio-compounds. Curriculum of Introduction to Biochemistry contains the basic knowledge that is necessary to understand cell biology, physiology, pharmacology and biochemistry.

Conditions for acceptance of the semester
Maximum of 15 % absence allowed
Mid-term exams
There are lab practices at every EVEN NUMBERED EDUCATIONAL weeks (2-4-6-8-10-12-14). There are short tests from week 4 till 14. The lab is beginning with a short test (time is 6 minutes; 6 occasions; max. 6 exampoints). Requirement for acceptance is writing 5 test out of 6 possibility.
There is no possibilities to write a short test if delaying is over 5 minutes. No more than 10 minutes delay is accepted, over of it, it is an absence. No more than 1 absence is allowed from the 7 lab occasions (15%).
It is obligatory to write lab-notes. Result of the short test is acknowledged only if the lab-notes of the practice is accepted by the lab instructor. The exam is based on the topic of the lectures and labs. The lectures are identical with the General Medicine program. The exam conditions are on the website of the department.

Making up for missed classes
There is no possibility to make up of the lab practices.
