| 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. |
