Abstract
This chapter is a brief review of the important organic functional groups and biomolecules. After study of this chapter, students will be able to: • Identify important organic functional groups in any drug structure • Identify major biomolecules: proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids • Apply chemical principles in all four classes of biomolecules • Define monomer units of the biomolecules and their chemical properties • Evaluate the structures of important heterocycles occurring in drugs and biomolecules • Summarize the significance of of biomolecules
Keywords: Biomolecules, Carbohydrates, Eicosanoids, Fats, Functional groups, Nucleic acids, Proteins.
