Course content
The discipline "Macromolecules of Bioorganic Nature" is devoted to the consideration of the chemical structure, properties of biologically active substances. The chemical structure, features of the biosynthesis of water-soluble vitamins, the synthesis of coenzymes, which include vitamins, and the main mechanisms of enzymatic reactions with their participation are considered. The structural features of fat-soluble vitamins, their role in the regulation of metabolism are considered. Secondary metabolites of plants, their effect on the human body are considered. Attention is paid to the structure and synthesis of hormones, the role of hormones in the regulation of basic metabolism, and modern methods of studying vitamins and hormones.
