2. Course Description
This course is designed for non-chemistry majors, as it is intended for students
pursuing a degree in biotechnology. The course is divided into two parts. The first
part covers the basic fundamentals of general, organic chemistry and properties of
organic compounds as needed to understand the organic chemistry of living cells,
analytical chemistry, physiology and biochemistry. The second part focuses on
organic chemistry of living cells, including the chemistry of carbohydrates, lipids,
amino acids, proteins and nucleic acids. Some real applications as well as
computational aspects will also be discussed.
