|
|
| Duration : | 4h Th, 44h Pr |
|
| Number of credits : |
|
|
| Lecturer : | Aurore Richel |
|
Language(s) of instruction :
|
| French language |
|
Organisation and examination :
|
| Teaching in the second semester |
|
Course contents :
|
| The course is centered on the thorough study of one or several natural products included in a biological matrix. The main objective of this course is to increase knowledge in organic analysis (extraction processes, purification and identification of natural molecules), in chromatographic and spectroscopic methods.
This course is centered on the achievement of a group work in the laboratory and relies on the following steps:
1- Definition of the research project
2- Up-to-date bibliographic search (state of the art)
3- Preparation of the working strategy and main tasks (oral presentation in english)
4- Realisation of the project in the laboratory
5- Drafting of a synthetic report on the project and the results obtained |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| How to use synergically the extraction, purification and identification (physical as well as chemical) techniques of organic molecules contained in complex biological matrixes.
After completing the course the student is expected to
- to present a research project
- to carry out the project at the laboratory
- to use, in synergistic manner, the techniques of extraction, purification and identification of organic compounds
- to identify organic molecules contained in complex biological matrices |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| -- BIOL2017-6 - Biological chemistry, 2nd part
-- BIOL 2019-1 - Theoretical and physical chemistry applied to structural analysis of biomolecules
-- CHIM 9245-1 - Chromatographic analysis |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| This course is based on the PBL ("Problem-Based Learning") learning method.
Lectures (4h): overview of the main chromatographic and spectroscopic methods; visit of the laboratory
Practical work (44h/one week): For security reasons, access to the laboratory is authorized only for Students with a lab coat, their safety glasses and in order of registration. Glasses should be worn when handling. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| Lectures : 4h
Practical Works : 44h |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| Papers in International Journals; bibliography available at the library of the Unit of Biological and Industrial Chemistry |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| Personal report (100%). Ecah part of the project is evaluated: bibliography (20%), individual note for the work in the laboratory (50%), synthetic report (30%). The presence in the laboratory is mandatory. Any absence must be justified by a medical certificate in proper form.
No examination will be held in the first session. An oral examination will be organised in the second session. |
