This course is a multidisciplinary approach toward the learning of the metabolic pathways. I consider Bioorganic Chemistry as an advanced Biochemistry course. Bioorganic Chemistry concerns the structure and reactivity of the biological components and the processes that involve the molecules in the cells. The course explains the most important chemical reactions of the biological systems with the additional description of the enzymatic functional groups involved in such processes. The first part of the class concerns the biological macromolecules. I will explain their modification through laboratory procedures and the biologic systems mimic. A second part concerns the primary metabolism and molecular biology. The study objects of this part are the biological substrates and reactions. Some lectures will put attention on synthetic systems that mimic the biologic processes.
教學目標Course Objectives
因本課程是多領域課程,所以完成此課程的學生可獲得關於生物系統的深刻的知識.此外,可深入明白生活系統裡的結構和過程邏輯.課程的最後,學生可掌握生物學的化學概念.
Due to the subject's multidisciplinary, the student who completes the course will gain a profound knowledge of biological systems. He will deeply understand the logic of structures and processes inside the living systems. At the end of the classes, the student will master the chemical concepts of biology.
先修科目Prerequisites
在課程中,老師將解釋基本概念,以便學生能了解生物結構和過程。所以不需先修科目。只需帶著好奇心和動力。基本化學知識有助於了解此課程，但不是必要的.
During the course, I will explain the basic concepts for understanding the biological structure and the processes, which means that there are no prerequisites for attending the lectures. It is only required curiosity and motivation. The knowledge of basilar chemistry is helpful but not necessary.

The assessment method is thought to induce the student to study weekly the subject of the course. For this reason, I want to make use of periodical home-works (individual or group). I also will annotate the participation of the single students in the lectures (class involvement), which means that I will appreciate questions and observations.
