Course Objective and Content
| Course Objectives: | The aim of this course is to introduce the chemical structure, functions and critical roles of amino acids in biological systems. In particular, it is aimed to understand the role of amino acids in protein synthesis, their role in metabolic processes and their effects on human health. Diseases associated with impaired amino acid metabolism and the effects of dietary amino acids on the human body will be examined in detail. |
| Course Content: | A student who completes this course; - Chemical structure and classification of amino acids - Essential and non-essential amino acids - Protein synthesis, transcription and translation processes - The role of amino acids in metabolism and energy production - Functions of amino acids in enzymatic activities and cellular communication - Effects of amino acid deficiencies and excesses on human health - The importance of amino acids in sport, exercise and diet - Diseases associated with amino acid metabolism will have information about. |
Learning Outcomes
|
The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Explain the chemical structure and classification criteria of amino acids. 2) Evaluates the importance of essential amino acids in nutrition. 3) Have knowledge about basic amino acid analysis techniques. |
