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

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. |
Carbohydrate, amino acid, peptide, protein, lipid, nucleic acid
✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | ✔ Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
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.
