Annotation
Basic scientific discipline, the mission of which is to provide the student with sufficient knowledge for the study of pharmaceutical disciplines such as pharmaceutical chemistry, biochemistry and pharmacology. Bioorganic chemistry studies compounds that are the basis of life processes and seeks to understand their biological functions.
The main studied types are biopolymers (proteins and peptides, nucleic acids, lipids, polysaccharides, etc.) and their basic building blocks, amino acids, nucleosides, nucleotides etc. whose transformations form the chemical nature of biological processes, as well as bioregulators (enzymes, vitamins and hormones). Bioorganic chemistry deals with obtaining these substances in a chemically pure state, determines their structure and suggests the relationship between structure and biological properties.
