Outline and Purpose of the Course Discussion and debate through the presentations on some particular topics related to the chemistry and the action of biologically active organic molecules, in order to understand deeper the methodology and to examine the approach in advancing the research work to write the thesis.
Course Goals To understand the trends and recent progresses in the research fields related to the thesis subject.
Schedule and Contents Each student is requested to make a review presentation on one of the following topics and lead discussion:
1. Structure activity relationship of biologically-active peptide compounds
2. Regulatory mechamisms of insect molting and metamorphosis
3. Fragmentation mechanisms in mass spectrometry and their application
4. Action mechanisms of neuroactive compounds
5. Disease resistance mechanisms in plants
6. Molecular design of biologically-active compounds
7. Dynamics of plant hormones
Evaluation Methods and Policy Based on contents and clarity of presentation, and class participation.
Course Requirements Basic knowledge of organic chemsitry, biochemistry, plant physiology, entomology, physical chemistry and pesticide chemistry is required.
Study outside of Class (preparation and review) Constant surveillance of the research papers in the important journals of related areas are requested to find appropriate material to be presented which facilitate an intellectual and fruitful discussion.
