Chemistry for medical and dental course

We devote this manual to students taking chemistry within either MD or DDS Program. New concepts in biochemistry oft en require understanding of some fundamental principles from general and organic chemistry. This manual contains a large variety of experiments related to physical and chemical properties of organic substances; reactions of the functional groups found in biological molecules;
basic chemistry of biological macromolecules; the functions of metal ions in biological systems; electrolyte chemistry and some aspects of enzyme kinetics.
Students are introduced to understanding of properties and interrelationships of important classes of compounds, which help them be better prepared to biochemistry problems.
We hope that this laboratory work can also reinforce understanding of the current lecture and seminar topics presented during this course.
