learning outcome	Die Studierenden sind fähig, an der Schnittstelle zwischen organischer Chemie und Biotechnologie Probleme zu analysieren, geeignete, insbesondere moderne Laborverfahren zur Lösung der Aufgaben auszuwählen und anhand des Syntheseerfolgs die wissenschaftlichen Ergebnisse zu bewerten, um schließlich einen geeigneten Syntheseplan vorzulegen. Die Studierenden sind fähig, Aufgaben der chemischen und biologischen Wissenschaft zu analysieren, geeignete Methoden und Synthesepläne auszuwählen und entsprechende Ergebnisse zu gewinnen. Die Studierenden erarbeiten Problemlösungen komplexer Syntheseaufgaben in der Gruppe. Sie können die von ihnen gewonnen Erkenntnisse gemeinsam in einer Aufgabenstellung analysieren und dokumentieren.
content	This section of the bioorganic chemistry is designed to teach concept of bioconjugation that has regular applications in biotechnology for developing different types of assays, therapies and diagnosis. Students are informed about the role of organic synthesis in biotechnology especially the synthetic chemistry methods those are used for developing biomolecule-drug or substrate conjugates. The major part of this teaching focuses the functional group targets for the biomolecules, biopolymer and biocompatible polymer. Following content is included in this course Application of bioconjugates in medicine and biotechnology Assay and quantification Detection, tracking, and imaging Purification, capture, and scavenging Catalysis and chemical modification Therapeutics and in vivo diagnostics Vaccines and immune modulation Bioconjugation strategy and design Functional targets of bioconjugation Creating specific functionalities Crosslinkers Fluorescent Probes PEGylation and Synthetic polymers Chemoselective Ligation Bioorthogonal Chemistry Metal-ligand chemistry for bioconjugation (Stept)avidine-Biotin System
media of instruction and technical requirements for education and examination in case of online participation	PowerPoint presentation including some videos from lab experiment in combination with blackboard teaching is used as Media for information transfer.
