Learning outcomes

The aim of the course is to provide the students with the intellectual tools necessary to understand the chemistry of biomolecules, i.e. organic compounds found in biological systems, by describing their molecular structures, functions, and physico-chemical properties. An introduction to cheminformatics methods will be given.

Program

- Structure and properties of the main functional groups.
- Acidity and basicity in organic chemistry. Definitions according to Lewis and Broensted. Relative strength of acids and bases: effect of the structure on acidity.
- Conformational analysis and stereochemistry.
- Introduction to cheminformatics software: virtual representation of organic molecules and conformational analysis by molecular mechanics.
- Carbohydrates: classification and configuration. Disaccharides and polysaccharides of biological interest.
- Lipids: most relevant compounds and physico-chemical characteristics. Membrane models.
- Aminoacids: structure, isoelectric point. Peptides and proteins: physico-chemical properties.
- Nucleic acids: nucleosides, nucleotides, DNA, RNA.

Examination Methods

The student will need to take a written and an oral test.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
