Course description and aims

In this lecture, we will explain the organic chemistry of biomolecules for students who have taken organic chemistry 1st to 6th.

Student learning outcomes

By taking this lecture, students will acquire the following abilities.
(1) Understanding of the organic chemistry of carbohydrates.
(2) Understanding of the organic chemistry of amino acids, peptides and proteins.
(3) Understanding of the organic chemistry of lipids.
(4) Understanding of the organic chemistry of nucleic acids.

Course taught by instructors with work experience

Applicable How instructors' work experience benefits the course
In this lecture, on the basis of his experience in the pharmaceutical company and the national research institute, the importance of bioorganic chemistry will be extensively studied in order to develop the bifunctional molecules.

Keywords

Carbohydrate, amino acid, peptide, protein, lipid, nucleic acid

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

This lecture proceed in the order of (1) carbohydrate, (2) amino acid, peptide, protein, (3) lipid, (4) nucleic acid. In the last round, exercises and commentary for confirming comprehension degree will be implemented.

Course schedule/Required learning

  Course schedule Required learning
Class 1 Carbohydrate Explain the organic chemistry of carbohydrates.
Class 2 Carbohydrate Explain the organic chemistry of carbohydrates.
Class 3 amino acids, peptide, protein Explain the organic chemistry of amino acids, peptide, and protein.
Class 4 amino acids, peptide, protein Explain the organic chemistry of amino acids, peptide, and protein.
Class 5 lipid Explain the organic chemistry of lipid.
Class 6 nucleic acids Explain the organic chemistry of nucleic acids.
Class 7 Practice problems and interpretation for confirming the level of understanding Solve practice problems by accurate understanding of the above all lectures.

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
