Third Semester

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

 

This course is designed to gain an understanding the physico-chemical properties of inorganic and organic compounds.

 

COURSE OUTCOMES:

Students will be able to

CO1: Correlate the chemistry of rare earth metals and their corresponding compounds with their electronic configuration

CO2: Know the nomenclature of coordination compounds and their different structural aspects.

CO3: Have a knowledge about structure and bonding issues to understand the stability and reactivity of simple organometallic complexes

CO4: Explain the chemical properties of carboxylic acids and their derivatives, amines, nitro hydrocarbons, cyanides and isocyanides

CO5: Synthesize organic compounds, which are of relevance to multistep organic synthesis in the industry.

CO6: Formulate the first law of thermodynamics for a closed systems and arrange the change in energy in these systems via heat and work transfer

CO7: Analyze energy changes in chemical reaction using first law of thermodynamics

CO8: Assess thermodynamic applications using second law of thermodynamics

CO9: State the thermodynamic criteria for different phases in equilibrium in terms of chemical potential

CO10: Interpret the slope of phase boundaries on a pressure-temperature phase diagram in terms of the relevant changes in entropy and molar volume for the given phase change.



Objective of Course  

          The main objective of this course is to help the students attain the basic knowledge on energy transformations in biological systems as well the key role played by enzymes in metabolisms. To prepare students work confidently on enzyme systems by integrating practical aspects with theory.

Learning Outcomes : 

On completion of the course the student will be able to do the following

CO1. Student will be able to understand how these biomolecules (which they studied in the previous year) will be able to give energy for the systems.

CO2. Understand the first and second laws of thermodynamics and how they impact evolutionary trends.

C03. Attain knowledge on biomolecular interactions.

CO4. Understand the roles of ATP and reduced cofactors in shuttling energy and electrons around within cells.

CO5. Knowing about enzymes and their mode of actions will help in better understanding of metabolisms.

CO6. Learning the basics aids in better handling of enzymes in vitro.

CO7. Will be able to plan and execute an enzyme assay.

CO8. As assaying of enzymes is key in drug discovery and clinical identifications, student will be able to understand or assess the metabolic disorders



Immunological Techniques explains the basics of immunology with their applications in the usage of antibody-antigen reactions such as precipitation, agglutination, immune and radial diffusion. It also explains various techniques commonly used in the medical field such as western blotting, ELISA, RIA, immunohistochemistry, etc. The cellular assays using the principles, various methodology and their applications in the medical field has helped various physicians and scientists to understand the reaction as well as the mode of treatment.

Molecular biology explains about the molecular activity in biological species relating to the bio-molecular interactions in the cell including the interactions between the DNA, RNA, protein and biosynthesis as well as the regulation of these interactions. The r-DNA technology is the recombinant DNA technology used as the application tool in various agricultural as well as medicinal benefits by identifying and altering the genes with the help of various enzymatic and recombinant tools.
