Biopolymers / Natural Products Chemistry

The lecture biopolymers will provide specific knowledge in the synthesis, structure and function of various biopolymers. We will particularly discuss DNA as well as DNA nanotechnology, peptides, peptide functionalizations peptide drugs, protein synthesis and protein chemistry as well as polysaccharides. Moreover, biopolymeric materials such lignin or natural polyphenols will be discussed.
