Basic level courses

The language of instruction on most of our basic level courses is Swedish. Below you find information regarding the two courses that are given in English; Experimental Protein Chemistry and Chemistry of the Cell.

Autumn semester - first part, HT1

Curious about how cells are working on a molecular level? Learn more about proteins - the hard workers of the cells - while training your laboratory skills.

The aim of the course is that the students shall acquire up to date knowledge and skills for biochemical studies of proteins and acquire an understanding of how proteins work by theoretical and practical investigations of the function, properties and structural dynamics of proteins. 

The course runs during the first part of the autumn semester HT1.

Autumn semester - second part, HT2

Curious to learn more about the chemical reactions that take place in all living cells? Acquire in-depth knowledge of the processes that take place at the cellular level, such as metabolism, enzyme catalysis and regulation.

The course aims to provide an increased understanding of the chemical reactions that take place in all living cells, focusing on understanding the enzymes that catalyse chemical reactions and how they are regulated. The metabolism of the cell is described in different sections of the course to understand how energy is made available through certain chemical reactions, that are used to power other chemical reactions. The lab part of the course consists of one lab where an enzyme is purified and characterised and a computer lab where you learn to use different basic bioinformatic tools.

The course runs in English during the second part of the autumn semester HT2 and in Swedish during the second part of the spring semester VT2.
