ORGANIC CHEMISTRY

Give to the student the bases for the interpretation of the main phenomena that govern biological systems. Show the link between organic chemistry and some key areas, such as food, biotechnology and the environment.Provide the knowledge on the methodologies used in research laboratories and control.

Basic knowledge of organic chemistry and the mechanisms that govern it. Knowledge of the properties of the organic molecules based on their structure; transformation of the functional groups and of simple synthetic transformations. Basic knowledge (molecular) of biomolecules such as lipids, carbohydrates, peptides, proteins and nucleic acids
