Aims

Upon completion of the course, the student is able

  • to understand properties and functionality of basic functional groups of biomolecules
  • to understand and predict the chemical transformation of these functional groups with detailed reaction mechanisms
  • to synthesize biomolecules with experimental techniques and to explore the properties of these biomolecules
  • to present the practical set-up and finding of the research work in oral (lecture) and written (poster) format
Content

This is a practical course, aiming to apply the theory around biomolecular chemistry given in Synthesis of Biomolecules (NWI-MOL047) in practice. Clearly, focus will be at the synthesis and study of biomolecules (peptides, sugars, nucleic acids).
