| Learning Outcomes |
Competences |
| After successful completion of the course, students will understand the basic concepts of organic chemistry and their application to biomolecular systems. They are able to analyze chemical structures, reactivity and mechanisms and explain their importance for biological processes.
|

| Skills |
Knowledge |
By attending the course, students learn the following skills. They are able to:
- To recognize, classify and predict the reactivity of organic molecular structures (k1, k2, k3),
- to understand, explain and transfer reaction mechanisms (e.g. nucleophilic substitution, elimination, addition) to biomolecular processes (k2, k3, k4),
- analyse stereochemical principles (e.g. chirality, conformation) and explain their significance for biological molecules (e.g. amino acids, sugars) (k2, k3),
- Evaluate acid-base and redox properties of organic compounds and discuss their role in biological systems (k2, k3, k4),
- Understand the basics of organic synthesis and its application in biochemistry (e.g. peptide synthesis, nucleotide chemistry) (k1, k2, k3).
|
Students acquire theoretical knowledge of:
- Structure and function of organic molecules: functional groups, attachment theories, hybridization, resonance,
- Reaction mechanisms: nucleophilic and electrophilic reactions, radical reactions, pericyclic reactions,
- Stereochemistry: configuration, conformation, optical activity and their significance in biomolecules,
- Acid-base chemistry: pKa values, buffers, protonation states in biological systems,
- Organic chemistry of biologically relevant molecules: amino acids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, lipids,
- Fundamentals of organic synthesis and its application in biotechnology.
