CHEM4421: Bioorganic Chemistry and Chemical Biology

Bioorganic chemistry and chemical biology are rapidly developing fields at the interface of chemical and biological sciences. Taking inspiration from biology, bioorganic chemistry applies the principles and techniques of organic chemistry including but not limited to synthesis, structural and reactivity analyses, to solve problems of biological relevance. Chemical Biology deals with how chemistry can be applied to manipulate and study biological problems using a combination of experimental techniques ranging from organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, biophysical chemistry, and cell biology. The purpose of this course is to teach students the core concepts and skills that are used at the interface of chemistry and biology. Prereq: 2302 or 2081 or equiv
