CHEM 40BOrganic Chemistry for Life Sciences II
This is the second quarter of a two-quarter organic chemistry sequence intended for biological sciences majors and other interested students. The course is a continuation of CHEM 40A and provides an in-depth study of the molecular structure and reactivity of organic molecules with emphasis on biological applications. Topics covered include carbonyl reactivity, enzymatic catalysis, electrophilic substitutions and additions, and the molecular basis of drug action. Students may receive credit for one of the following: CHEM 40B or 40BH.
