Course content
The attention will be paid to the description of behaviour of metal complexes in aqueous media and in the conditions that are adequate to the physiological conditions. There will be also discussed possible interactions of biologically significant biomacromoecule as DNA, RNA and proteins, stability of the formed products and their influence on the functions of the above mentioned biomacromolecules. In the course there will be also discussed suitable methods of study of the interactions between the metal complexes and biological material.
