Annotation -

The course introduces the basic, structurally derived groups of natural compounds, their properties, reactions and occurrence in organism. It explains also basic concepts relating to structure of molecules, their stereochemistry and/or chirality, including structure-biological activity relationships, e.g. for narcotics. The course deals also with enzymatic and biomimetic reactions.
