About Study Course
Objective
To provide a concise introduction to the principles of organic chemistry underlying biological chemistry and molecular biology.
Prerequisites
Organic chemistry within the secondary school programme level.
Learning outcomes
Students describe organic compounds and explain their properties; know reactions of organic compounds and write corresponding equations; characterize structures and properties of biochemical compounds.
Students apply principles and methods of organic chemistry for approaches to biochemical complexities, such as haemoglobin structure, function and regulation, metabolic transformations of hexoses and pentoses
