Course description
Students learn the basics of inorganic chemistry and metal ions working in vivo. This is the one class in the category of the basic life sciences.
Expected Learning
Inorganic compounds and metal ions play important roles in the life. Students who successfully complete this class will be able to:
1) Recognize inorganic chemistry and coordination chemistry.
2) Understand the function of inorganic ions and metalloproteins in vivo.

This subject corresponds to the viewpoint A of the diploma policy.

Week 1: Orientation of this class.
Week 2: Structure of Atoms and the periodic table.
Week 3: Properties of elements.
Week 4: Structure of inorganic compounds.
Week 5: s-, p-, d-, f-block elements.
Week 6: Valence bond theory.
Week 7: Ligand field theory.
Week 8: Midterm examination.
Week 9: Living body essential elements.
Week 10: Metalloproteins and metalloenzyms I.
Week 11: Metalloproteins and metalloenzyms II.
Week 12: Ion transport for metal ions and the homeostasis.
Week 13: Interaction between metal ions and nucleic acids.
Week 14: Physico-chemical methods for the bioinorganic compounds.
Week 15: Final examination.
Prerequisites
Students entering this class are assumed to have had“Basic quantum mechanics".
In addition to 30 hours that students spend in the class, students are recommended to prepare for and revise the lectures, spending the standard amount of time as specified by the University by reviewing the exercises to be done in each lesson and by solving the problems at the end of the text.
