CBMS840: Organic and Biological Chemistry A |
Biological systems carry out a huge range of complex organic reactions to achieve growth reproduce and compete. This unit examines advanced topics in organic chemistry, relevant to biology and biological systems. The unit has an underlying theme of the structure and reactivity of proteins. Specifically, the topics covered are: Carboxylic acids and amines; amino acids, peptides and proteins; polar rearrangements and spectroscopic identification of organic compounds. This unit requires good skills in organic chemistry and a background in other aspects of chemistry and/or biochemistry would be advantageous. The laboratory sessions are aimed at developing skills in organic synthesis, using the reactions studied in lectures and in the spectroscopic identification of organic/biological compounds.
