2. Nucleic acids. Structure and properties nucleic acids.
Aim: to be able to study structure and properties biological-active heterocyclic compounds; structure and properties nucleic acids. To determine heterocyclic compounds by qualitative tests; component of nucleotides by qualitative test in solutions.
Professional orientation of students:
The most of heterocyclic compounds are biological active natural compounds. Knowledge structure and properties of heterocyclic compounds have beeecessary for understanding processes of a metabolism in an organism. Some of them are structural component of proteins, enzymes, vitamins, nucleic acids and other compounds are formed in an organism. Some alkaloids are natural nitrogen-contain heterocyclic compounds, derivates, which have been used as drugs. A lot of heterocyclic compounds are medicine. For example amidopyrinum, furacilinum, fnalginum.
Knowledge of structure and properties heterocyclic compounds; to be able to determine they by qualitatively test in solutions are necessary for investigation them in pharmacology, biological chemistry, therapy, surgery.
The nucleic acids play the main role in preservation and transfer genetic information, in which synthesis specific proteins was depended. Therefore knowledge of a structure and properties of nucleic acids important for understanding of processes of habitability and originating of pathologies, parentage of genetic molecular diseases, which one will be studied in a course of physiology, biological chemistry.
