Provide the general concepts of General and Organic Chemistry underlining the close relationships between the laws of chemistry and the biochemical and biological mechanisms that the student will face in subsequent courses.
Course contents
General Chemistry (Prof. Monica Galliano)

Elements and compounds. Atoms and molecules. Electronic configuration and periodic properties of the elements. Nomenclature of inorganic compounds. Stoichiometry. Acid-base reactions. Oxidation and reduction. Chemical equilibrium. Chemical thermodynamics. Chemical Kinetics. Electrochemistry. Solutions and colligative properties. Self-ionization of water, acids and bases, pH. Buffer solutions. Titration.

Organic Chemistry (Prof. Livia Visai)
Organic Stereochemistry. Functional groups: nomenclature, structure and reactions. Hydrocarbons - Saturated aliphatic and cyclic hydrocarbons: alkanes and cycloalkanes; unsaturated and aromatic hydrocarbons: alkenes, alkynes, aromatics and aromatic heterocyclic compounds. Alcohols, phenols, thiols and ethers: oxidation and reduction reactions in living organisms. Aldehydes and ketones and their importance in the biological field. Carboxylic acids and their acyl derivatives: esters and anhydrides; high energy compounds such as phosphoesters and thioesters. Aliphatic amines, heterocyclic amines and amides.
