CHEM 538 - Medicinal Biosynthesis

3 Credits
Since ancient times, humankind has recognized that some plants produce therapeutic effects in humans. Medicinal properties can sometimes be attributed to natural products that the organism produces, called secondary metabolites. These metabolites are produced through biological pathways that are unique to a species or group of organisms. This course examines these secondary metabolic pathways that produce medicinal compounds, with a focus on the enzymes that catalyze these unique chemical reactions.
Prerequisite(s): CHEM 510 - Intermediate Organic Chemistry  and CHEM 525 - Metabolic Biochemistry
