Biosynthesis, bioactivities and modes of action of bioactive compounds, which have key roles in a variety of organisms such as mammals, insects, plants, and microorganisms are studied. Skills obtained in this class are related to DP2 and DP3.
General biosynthetic pathways such as polyketide pathway and mevalonic pathway are studied to understand how bioactive compounds are biosynthesized. Structures, biosynthesis, bioactivities, and modes of action of various bioactive compounds such as insect hormones and signal molecules of microbes are studied to know the functions of bioactive compounds in each organism.
