Course description
This course provides students with the skills of determining the structure of low molecular-weight organic compounds.
This course also provides students with the basics on analysis methods of gene expression and function including those of subcellular localization and dynamics of cellular macromolecules.
We also describe various analytical methods on gene expression and function along with the basic idea underlying them.
In addition, we explain the techniques, examples, and recent information about researches of subcellular localization and dynamics of cellular macromolecules.
Expected Learning
Learners who succesfully complete this course will be able to identify the structure of low molecular-weight organic compounds by analayzing IR, MS, and NMR spectra.
Learners who succesfully complete this course will be able to understand the principle of various analytical methods concerning gene expression and function including analysis method of subcellular localization and dynamics of cellular macromolecules, along with the underlying basic concept.
