Chemistry - additional issues


Duration :15h Th, 15h Pr
Credits/ECTS :
2nd year of a Bachelor's degree in biomedical sciences3
2nd "candidature" in biomedical sciences3
Holder(s) :Pierre Colson
Course contents : Taking into account the basic tools given in the 1st Bac, a first part of this course (Chapters 1 and 2) will be devoted to main recalls about pH, precipitation, complexation and redox reactions with a special importance given to the reciprocal influence of these phenomena. This last point will be illustrated with biochemical examples such as buffer preparation at physiological pH, calculation of the blood pH taking into account the pressure of carbon dioxide, etc...
A second part (Chapter 3) will involve the basis of chemistry of aromatic compounds because several molecules with biomedical interest present a partially/or completely aromatic
structure.
A third and last part (Chapter 4) will be more oriented to the use of spectral techniques (UV-Visible, NMR, infra-red) in order to identify and quantify molecules with biomedical interest.
Applications used to illustrate this course will be largely oriented to the biomedical and most to the practical aspects).
Course objective : To achieve the transition between the course of basic chemistry (1st Bac), the course of physical complements (equipments and apparatus), and the courses of analytical and medicinal chemistry in the next year. This course has to enable to examine thoroughly and apply the basic knowledges of the 1st Bac which involve the main topics of general and inorganic chemistry and the basic elements of organic chemistry.
Prerequisites : Course of general, ionorganic and organic chemistry of the 1st Bac.
Workshops : 3 laboratories of 3h30 each
Organization : 2h per week during 8 weeks in the second quadrimester
Written notes : Lecture notes are sold at the beginning of the second quadrimester
Assessment : Written examination with mainly open questions and sometimes one or two multiple choice questions.
