Course objectives

Bioorganic chemistry is chemistry of organic biologically active compounds. It is besides medicines which are in detail studied by medicinal chemistry concerned with pesticides used in agriculture (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, moluscocides, rodenticides...), food additives in which a biologic activity can be specified, chemical combat substances and toxic compounds of all the kind. The discipline studies both qualitative (SAR) a quantitative (QSAR) relationships between structure and activity or toxicity of these compounds. It also deals with their syntheses and metabolism as well as computer modelling of interactions of these molecules with target structures such as such as enzymes, receptors or nucleic acids.

Learning outcomes

The knowledge of the topics of the discipline to the extent which will be preliminarily agreed among the guarantor, Ph.D. student and his/her tutor.

Syllabus
