Biogenesis of natural products (BCM WP 26)

Competencies
After successfully completing the module, students will be able to

  • structurally analyze and classify complex natural substances and secondary metabolites within a comprehensive framework.
  • develop retrobiosyntheses, even for highly complex natural products.
  • describe individual biosynthesis stages using enzyme mechanisms.
  • formulate mixed biosyntheses of hybrid natural products.
  • compare biosyntheses with chemical syntheses.
  • establish connections between the characteristic properties and the possible (bio)synthesis pathways.
