UE Bioorganic and bioinorganic chemistry

This teaching block is divided into two sections, bioinorganic chemistry and bioorganic chemistry. Bioorganic chemistry part is focused on the heterocycles chemistry mainly nitrogen(s) containing compounds (i.e. pyridines, pyrimidines, pyrroles, purines and nucleosides). Indeed heterocyclic compounds represent interesting organic compounds as they are involved in the design of many pharmaceutics as well as in biological processes. An overview of the roles that are played by the metal ions in life (biotransformations, dioxygen transport, drug elimination) and specially in the stabilization of nucleic acids will then be presented.
