- In practical classes, the student has prior access to the experimental protocols to be carried out in each class session, which allows for prior reading and preparation. These protocols are accompanied by a set of questions, in order to ensure individual preparation and, subsequently, the discussion of procedures and results.
- Mandatory
- Understand the function of the main enzymes involved in the metabolic pathways and understand their role as a regulatory mechanism and potential therapeutic or diagnostic targets Understand the role of biochemistry in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease Demonstrate practical skills in non-invasive techniques, such as spectrophotometry, and potentiometry Search and interpret scientific literature

A classificação final (CF) da unidade curricular por avaliação contínua é obtida a partir das classificações obtidas na componente escrita (T) e na componente prática (PL). A componente Teórica consta de duas frequências escritas e é relativa aos conteúdos teóricos. A classificação mínima em cada frequência é de 8 valores. A componente prática consta de 2 momentos de avaliação práticos realizados durante as aulas laboratoriais, A classificação mínima de cada momento é de 8 valores. A classificação final é calculada a partir da seguinte fórmula: CF = 0,50 T + 0,50 PL. A classificação de todos os instrumentos de avaliação é expressa numa escala de 0 a 20 valores, sendo que o valor ponderado das classificações obtidas tem de ser igual ou superior a 9,5
- Semestral
- The General Biochemistry course will focus on the structure and function of biomolecules and on the mechanisms involved in the functioning and regulation of the metabolic pathways that are essential for functional homeostasis. The function of the main enzymes involved in the metabolic pathways and their role as a regulatory mechanism and potential therapeutic or diagnostic targets are also transmitted. Through laboratory practice, the student will not only perform non-invasive techniques, such as spectrophotometry, potentiometry, but also understand the implications of analytical and non-analytical errors.
