Organic chemistry is concerned with the study of the structure and properties of compounds containing carbon – All organic compounds contain carbon atoms –
Organic chemistry describes the structures, properties, preparation, and reactions of a vast array of molecules that we call organic compounds There are many
Chemical Genetics Genetics Chemical Genetics: the study of biological processes using small molecule intervention (rather than genetic intervention)
1 1 Historical Background of Organic Chemistry Organic chemistry is the area of chemistry that involves the study of carbon and its compounds
UNIT 2 BIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY ORGANIC MOLECULES: Molecules composed of a carbon skeleton Monomers: single building units Polymers: (macromolecules)
properties and some of their chemical reactions The reader thus makes an acquaintance with the properties of some important organic compounds before
24 1 General Characteristics of Organic Molecules • Organic chemistry is the branch of chemistry that studies carbon compounds • Biochemistry, biological
Structure, properties and biological significance of amino acids At equilibrium, most of the acid is present as un-ionized molecules

We can continue asking in the same way, what type of organic compounds are found in living from a biological point of view, we shall classify them into amino acids, biomolecules, i e , chemical compounds found in living organisms are of
a living system falls in the domain of biochemistry addition, some simple molecules like vitamins and group of naturally occurring organic compounds
