| Outline and Purpose of the Course | Students will classify and organize organic compounds produced by living organisms from metabolic pathways and understand the mechanism of each biosynthesis through the reaction mechanism theory of organic chemistry. At the same time, students will clarify the chemical factors involved in the interaction between living organisms and deepen their understanding of the role of signaling substances and bioactive substances in ecosystems. | |||
| Course Goals | In this lecture, students will learn about organic chemical backgrounds such as chemical structural properties and biosynthetic systems of compounds produced by living organisms and chemical analysis methods and understand the mechanism of action and ecological significance. | |||
| Schedule and Contents |
There will be a total of 15 lectures. For the following items, 0.5 to 2 weeks of lessons will be given per assignment. Students will study related textbooks as a review of organic chemistry. 1. Biosynthesis reaction (carbon-carbon bond, carbon-hydrogen bond, carbon-nitrogen bond) (two lectures) 2. Glycolysis (one lecture) 3. Citric acid cycle (two lectures) 4. Pentose phosphate pathway (two lectures) 5. Fatty acid biosynthesis and metabolism (one lecture) 6. Biosynthesis of polyketide (one lecture) 7. Biosynthesis of isoprenoids (two lectures) 8. Phenylpropanoid biosynthesis (two lectures) 9. Alkaloid biosynthesis (one lecture) [Final exam] 10. Feedback (one lecture): The exam questions will be explained and questions will be answered during the feedback period. |

| Evaluation Methods and Policy |
Evaluation method: Exam results (80%) and normal score evaluation (20%) The normal score assessment includes an assessment of active participation in the debate. Evaluation criteria: The evaluation criteria and policies are based on the evaluation criteria and policies described in the Student Handbook of the Faculty of Agriculture for the relevant academic year. |
