| Outline and Purpose of the Course | Fundamentals issues are lectured in detail on the synthesis method of carbohydrates, especially cellulose and its derivatives, which are important components of biological materials, and also, recent topics on sugars are mentioned, and researchs and prospects on the use of biological materials in the future are discussed. | |||
| Course Goals |
Understanding on the knowledge of polysaccharide / oligosaccharide synthesis method. Understanding in expertise on the structure-physical property relationship of derivatives obtained from cellulose, the most important biomass. Understanding in basic knowledge of the role and function of sugar chains found in animal cells while comparing with sugar chains in plants. |

| Evaluation Methods and Policy |
[Grading Procedure] Class performance (attendance, term paper, Qs and As). (Attendance to all classes is generally required.) [Grading Criteria] Grading criteria and achievement are based on [Grading Criteria and Achievement] described in the “2017 Guide to Degree Program, Graduate School of Agriculture”. |
|||
| Course Requirements | Participants should have completed Biomaterials Chemistry 1 prior to this course. | |||
| Study outside of Class (preparation and review) | Often the state-of-the-art science will be discussed in the courses for graduate students. Therefore, students are required to prepare and review the lectures by reading original papers listed in the handouts etc. given in the class. Sometimes students need to study more basic issues in order to understand the original papers. Students who wishes to participate in the course must always be sensitive to the surrounding research areas to connect students’ own research activities and knowledge obtained in the class. The instructor expects bi-directional class where questions that occurred during preparation and review can be solved in the class. | |||
| Textbooks | Textbooks/References | Handouts will be given. | ||
