Brief description of the course

Macro-, micro- and ultramicroelements, their role in Nature. The elements essential for living organisms. Physico-chemical characterization of metal ions in biological systems, their dynamics and transport. Metallo-proteins and enzymes, complexes of metals with nucleic acids. The role of non-metals (F, I, As, S, etc) in living systems. Optimal, under-and over-concentration of the elements.

Learning outcomes in the course
