Class Objectives
/Class Outline Several organic compounds biosynthesized by organisms have a specific structural characteristic and show a remarkable biological activity. We humans being exploit them as useful resources for various materials, drugs, and medicines. In this lecture, we will focus on useful and bioactive substances found in marine and terrestrial organisms such as seaweeds and insects, and teach how to analyze their structures. In addition, we will explain its original function in the ecosystem, usage as a resource, and applications in agriculture, industry, and medical care.

Class Schedule lesson1 Introduction - Marine organisms as a resource
lesson2 Exploiting skills of useful substances
lesson3 Fluorescent proteins from marine organisms and bioluminescence
lesson4 Diversified use of marine biomass (crab shells and seaweed polysaccharides)
lesson5 Chemical biology of marine organisms 1: Captive and defensive behaviors
lesson6 Chemical biology of marine organisms 2: Marine toxins
lesson7 Potentially useful substances derived from marine organisms: UV absorbers, antiviral proteins
lesson8 Mid-term examination
lesson9 Introduction - Agriculture, Insects, Bioactive compounds
lesson10 Insect hormones
lesson11 Insect pheromones 1: Sex pheromones
lesson12 Insect pheromones 2: Sex pheromones
lesson13 Insect pheromones 3: Alarm pheromones, Aggregation pheromones
lesson14 Insect pheromones 4: Pheromones of social insects
lesson15 Insects as food resources
lesson16 Term-end examination
