Focusing on making the amide bond with specificity, using protecting groups. Examples of methyl and benzyl esters.

Focus on description of monoterpene and formation of 6-membered ring as well as a look at the enzyme source.

Polyketides, a range of metabolites produced mainly by fungi and bacterium, are categorised by the number of units of acetate used in the assembly.

Determining the structure of a peptide can be done by determining what amino acids are present and in what proportions, and the sequence in which the amino acids occur in the peptide.

Amine classification and properties, and an introductory look at amino acids, the building blocks of proteins.
