    Part I - From the cellular organization to the building blocks

    Lecture 1: Cell organization

    Lecture 2: Proteins

    Lecture 3: Biological membranes

    Part II - Biological reactions require energy

    Lecture 4: Biological reactions (enzymes)

    Lecture 5: Energy production (metabolism)

    Part III - Molecular basis of gene expression

    Lecture 6: How and where is the program written? (DNA)
