| Course description |
| The aim of this class is to introduce students with advanced organic chemistry and chemical biology for elucidating and understanding the biological phenomena key concepts for understanding structures of compounds at atomic level, which will be an important foundation to study higher level courses at the Department of Bioengineering and Life Science. While reviewing high school-level chemistry, classes will introduce the key principles in chemistry, which involves atomic orbitals, valence bond theory, molecular orbital theory, molecular representations, acids and bases, stereochemistry. A particular emphasis is placed on learning the structures of organic compounds, so that it will serve as an introductory course for Bioorganic Chemistry courses. |
| Expected Learning |
| Learn the basics of bioorganic chemistry for proteins, nucleic acids, and coenzymes. Students will also gain the ability to understand cutting-edge research on bioorganic chemistry and communicate it to researchers in other specialized fields in an easy-to-understand manner. |
| Course schedule |
|
Based on the latest scientific literature, we conduct a literature search on research themes that are different from those of the master's course. In addition, summarize the contents of the survey in a report and give an oral presentation. Discuss from a scientific point of view based on the presentation. |
