Grading scale
The grade requirements within the course grading system are set out in specific criteria. These criteria must be available by the course start at the latest.
Language
EnglishPrior knowledge
15 credits basic knowledge and skills in general, organic and biochemistry. At least 5 credits of the 15 must be in organic chemistry.Exemption from entry requirements in Swedish.
Objectives
After completed course, the student will be able to:
describe the names, structures, characteristic properties, occurrence, biosynthesis, as well as suitable methods for the analysis, for the majority of the most important groups of natural products.
describe the principles for some of the more common methods for chemical analysis and separation.
execute and interpret data from experiments based some of the more common methods for chemical analysis and separation.
search and critically evaluate scientific information
analyse, report and present chemical results both in written and in oral form.
Content
Lectures, seminars, exercise sessions and laboratory work are used during the course. Course introduction, laboratory introduction, laboratory work, execution of project work as well as presentation of the project, and seminar and exercise on retrieval of scientific information are compulsory activities.
Properties, such as names, structures and reactivities, occurrence and biosynthesis, of the following groups of natural products will be covered in the course:
carbohydrates
amino acids
peptides/proteines
nucleic acids
fatty acids
polyketides
terpenes
steroides
phenylpropanoides
alkaloides
In addition, the following techniques for isolation and analysis of natural products will be covered:
extraction methods
chromatography (GC, HPLC, TLC, etc.)
spectroscopy (NMR, MS, UV/VIS, IR, etc.)
Each student will participate in a small project in which a natural compound will be isolated, purified, characterised and/or quantified.
One course part deals with retrieval of scientific information.
Grading form
The grade requirements within the course grading system are set out in specific criteria. These criteria must be available by the course start at the latest.Formats and requirements for examination
Passed written final exam, passed oral and written reports of the project, passed compulsory laboratory reports and active participation in other compulsory activities
- If a student has failed an examination, the examiner has the right to issue supplementary assignments. This applies if it is possible and there are grounds to do so.
- The examiner can provide an adapted assessment to students entitled to study support for students with disabilities following a decision by the university. Examiners may also issue an adapted examination or provide an alternative way for the students to take the exam.
- If this syllabus is withdrawn, SLU may introduce transitional provisions for examining students admitted based on this syllabus and who have not yet passed the course.
- For the examination of a degree project (independent project), the examiner may also allow the student to add supplemental information after the deadline for submission. Read more in the Education Planning and Administration Handbook.
Other information
The right to participate in teaching and/or supervision only applies for the course instance the student was admitted to and registered on.
If there are special reasons, students are entitled to participate in components with compulsory attendance when the course is given again. Read more in the Education Planning and Administration Handbook.
Additional information
The prerequisites can be fulfilled by having followed the courses KE0062, KE0063 and KE0064 and:i. having passed course modules corresponding to at least 15 credits within the courses mentioned above
and
ii. having passed course modules corresponding to at least 5 credits in organic chemistry
The course is given in Swedish if only Swedishspeaking teachers and students participate.
