Summer Term

Vorlesung "Organische Verbindungen" (ehemals: Organische Chemie I)

Prof. Dr. V. Wittmann
(2. Semester, 7 ECTS)

Die Vorlesung gibt eine Einführung in die Organische Chemie. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die Struktur (Konstitution, Konfiguration, Konformation) und Reaktivität organischer Moleküle. Ebenfalls behandelt werden ihre Nomenklatur und ihre physikalischen und biologisch-medizinischen Eigenschaften. Zu den Substanzklassen, die vorgestellt werden, gehören: Alkane, organische Halogenverbindungen, Alkohole, Phenole, Ether, Alkene, Alkine, Aromaten, Aldehyde und Ketone sowie Carbonsäuren und ihre Derivate.

Biopolymer Chemistry

Prof. Dr. A. Marx, Prof. Dr. V. Wittmann
(Master Course, 6 or 12 ECTS)

Educational objectives: Acquirement of a basic understanding of the synthesis, chemical manipulation and analysis of carbohydrates, peptides, proteins and nucleic acids. Particular emphasis will be placed on the synthesis, modification and understanding of the intrinsic properties of the biopolymers depicted above.
Teaching content: The course communicates selected aspects of modern carbohydrate, peptide,
protein and nucleic acids chemistry.
Carbohydrates: structure, occurrence & properties, protecting groups, glycosylation reactions.
Peptides & Proteins: structure and properties, chemical synthesis and modification, automated synthesis, modern conjugation chemistry.
Proteomics: protein purification and identification by mass spectrometry, identification of post-translational modifications.
Nucleic Acids: structure and properties, chemical synthesis of nucleosides and their analogues, automated DNA and RNA synthesis, conjugation, nucleosides and nucleic acids as drugs and drug targets.
