| Syllabus: | This unit is an introduction to biological chemistry for students who have passed CHEM1003 Introduction to Chemistry. Students who have passed WACE Chemistry 3A/3B or equivalent should take CHEM1001 Biological Chemistry. This unit will build on Introduction to Chemistry by providing examples of chemistry with relevance to biological systems. It will relate properties of biological molecules to aspects of chemical bonding to allow identification of their physical and chemical properties. It will further build on your skills in chemical reactions and numeracy developed in CHEM1003 Introduction to Chemistry and introduce some chemical measurement techniques of relevance to biological systems. It will illustrate the role of functional groups in controlling the function, behaviour and reactivity of organic molecules, focussing on application to biological molecules. The importance of solution pH in many biological systems will be introduced, along with the properties of acids and buffer solutions. |
