The course covers the whole area of a basic biochemistry. The lectures are largely based on the explanation why and how the chemicals undergo enzyme catalyzed reactions. Particular metabolic pathways are presented in the context of the entire metabolism. The structure-function relationships of involved chemical compounds is emphasized.

Lectures are delivered in Czech to Czech students. For Erasmus students the lectures are in English. Depending on the number of students enroled the course is arranged as lectures or in another way (colloquium, consultations).
