This unit highlights the chemistry of important naturally occurring organic and inorganic compounds from both the terrestrial and marine environment. The principles of biosynthesis of the major groups of secondary metabolites and the chemistry and properties of selected natural products (marine natural products and the alkaloids) are introduced. The role that these compounds play in the natural environment is emphasised (chemical ecology). Aspects of biological inorganic chemistry are included. The laboratory program is devoted to bioprospecting in Tasmania (the testing for, and the isolation, identification and bioactivity of, natural products). An excursion illustrates collecting and testing in the field.
Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.
Campus - H Hobart, L Launceston, W Burnie. Study Centre - V Sydney, R Rozelle, P Beauty Point. Distance units may also have a campus identifier of I Isolated, N Interstate, O Overseas. Units delivered in Transnational Education (TNE) Programs have a campus identifier of A Hangzhou, F Fuzhou, G Shanghai, K KDU Malaysia, Q Kuwait or Y Hong Kong.
