Provides an understanding of the chemistry and biology underpinning medicinal chemistry. Contains information on: Medicinal chemistry in drug discovery Structure of Biomolecules Principles of Molecular Biology

You will be able to: Explain the concepts of the las of thermodynamics. Describe key physical properties of chemical systems. Apply thermodynamic properties to make predictions about systems. Consider thermodynamic and kinetic factors when assessing the feasibility of a reaction. Describe experimental methods to follow the rate of a reactions. Use experimental data to calculate thermodynamic and kinetic parameters. Generate rate laws. Use rate data to predict mechanisms for simple cases.

NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy(vibrational), Microwave spectroscopy (rotational), Electronic spectroscopy in detail. Additional notes on rotational-vibrational and vibrational-electronic spectroscopies are added.

In this module you will be introduced to fundamental ideas of how structures and concepts in chemistry are represented, i.e. the language with which they are described. This includes standard chemical terminology, notation and diagrams, and use of mathematical representations in chemistry.

In this module you will be taking a mechanistic approach to introductory organic chemistry and learning about the major types of reactivity at carbon centres. The module will build on previous modules such as ‘Language of Chemistry’ and incorporate kinetics and spectroscopy, where appropriate, to build your understanding of reactivity at both carbon sp3 and sp2 centres. By the end of the module you will be able to predict and rationalise the outcomes of reactions at sp3 and sp2 centres, incl...
