ORGANIC CHEMISTRY-I

Course Description

Dentistry students will be able to interpret basic concepts and principles of organic chemistry. The ability of naming organic compounds and apply their knowledge in medicine and health will be gained. Theoretical information of building blocks such as functional groups, carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, proteins and nucleic acids will be taught. Naming with IUPAC rules, recognizing the drug molecules carrying these groups, their physical and chemical properties and their applications in the field of health will be mentioned. Importance in stereochemistry and drug activity and development of organic problem solving skills for solving problems, to understand the importance of organic chemistry in our daily life and understanding the importance of organic chemistry for dentistry students will be taught throughout the semester.
