Come and explore the natural and unnatural organic molecules involved in neurotransmission. Through the study of synthetic strategies, mechanistic principles, and the structural requirements for biological activity, students will investigate the chemical world of endogenous molecules, pharmaceuticals, and drugs of abuse. Recommended prereqs: Chem 2550, and Biochem 4511 or 5613. Prereq: 2520, 2620, or 2920H, and 2540; or Grad standing; or permission of instructor.
