Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Aims: Student acquire the basic techniques of organic synthesis and analytics. Upgrading the comprehension of the chemistry of amino acids, peptides (and proteins) and carbohydrates.

Content: reactions of carbonyl compounds, amino acid synthesis, protecting groups of peptide synthesis, synthesis of dipeptides, reactivity of amino acid active esters, isolation of natural products, titration, UV-Vis spectroscopy and thin layer chromatography as analytical techniques, kinetic measurements, handling of small substance amounts.
The accompanying lecture deals with the following subjects: laboratory security, laboratory techniques, organic analytics, amino acids and peptides, carbohydrates, nuclei acids, heterocycles and lipids.

Methods: lab course and accompanying lecture
