Objectives

The Medicinal Chemistry modules faces the pharmaceutical
aspects that are the fondamental for the drug actions, the structure activity
realtionshiups and the rational drug design. Practical sections are also used
to demonstrate the uses of the computer in medicinal chemistry.

Prerequisites

The student should have the knowledge acquired from organic chemistry and biochemistry courses

Exam modes

The student is asked to make a practical written test on the practical exercitation topics and some theory is also asked in written form.
In the oral exam the student is asked to reply on information given during the course
During the course will be given assignements to evaluate the student active participation, this will be taken into account for the final mark
