The course of Bioorganic chemistry covers the interdisciplinary area at the interface between organic chemistry and biochemistry or biology. It combines and compares molecular principles of structures of functions of biomolecules, molecular principles of biological and biochemical processes, chemical syntheses and biosyntheses of biomolecules and biomacromolecules and bioconjugations, use of biocatalysis in organic synthesis, and the area of chemical biology (the use of chemical means and approaches for the study of biological processes).
Aim of the course -

1.Introduction: principles of molecular interactions in chemistry and biology.

2.Structure and functions of nucleic acids: types of primary and secondary structures of DNA and RNA, genetic information, other functions of RNA, complexes of nucleic acids with biomolecules, DNA damage and repair.

3.Biosynthesis and metabolism of nucleic acids and their components: replication of DNA, transcription, RNA interference, CRISPR-CAS, biosynthesis and catabolism of nucleosides and nucleotides.

4.Chemical and enzymatic syntheses of nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides, biocatalytical synthesis and construction of nucleic acids (primer extension, PCR).

5.Structure and functions of proteins: structures of proteins, isolation and analysis of proteins, structure and function of peptides.

6.Biosynthesis and metabolism of amino acids and proteins, protein engineering, regulation of gene expression

7.Chemical and biotechnological syntheses of peptides and proteins: chemical syntheses of peptides on solid support, recombinant method, native peptide ligations, bioconjugations, combinatorial approaches

8.Enzymes and mechanisms of enzymatic reactions: mechanisms and regulation of enzymatic reactions, catalytical principles.
