The goal | The objective of the course is to provide students with knowledge about the role of metal ions in biological systems, ligands with which the metal ions have coordinatve bonds, the role of metal-protein, electron transfer processes, oxygen transport and storage, and atmospheric nitrogen fixation. |

The outcome | On successful completion of the course, students will be able to: a) apply basic chemical principles in the explaination of the role of metal ions in biological systems, b) successfully select hysicochemical methods for studying a particular biological phenomenon, c) critically analyze the own experimental data, d) critically analyze the literary data and apply them in reaching own conclusions; e) clearly formulate the problem and suggests a way to solve it.
• Identify the appropriate analytical techniques that are useful in characterizing transition-metal complexes in biological molecules.
• Describe the different processes involved in the transport and storage of metal ions.
• Describe the role of metal ions that are involved in electron-transfer reactions in biological systems.
• Describe the most common metal centers for electron-transfer reactions—those based on copper and iron ions.
• Summarize the role of metal centers in the enzymes that are involved in the nitrogen cycle.
• Describe how oxygen is transported through the human body and transferred to each biological entity that requires it; identify which metal centers perform these tasks.
• Describe the different metal-activation sites in enzymes that are involved in the incorporation of oxygen atoms into bio-organic molecules. |
