Course Overview
The Biological Inorganic Chemistry online course is offered by Swayam and counts 3 credit points according to Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) by UGC. Metal ions' have exceptional importance in biology, health, illness, and medicine has been increasingly clear during the last 30 years or so. The Biological Inorganic Chemistry training teaches about coordination compounds of metal ions that help to understand the inorganic components of biological and life processes. The biological system's metal ions can only be understood through a multidisciplinary approach. The biological Inorganic Chemistry syllabus broadly covers metal ions, it remains at the continually expanding intersection between the biological world and inorganic chemistry. It is becoming increasingly clear that some metal ions have a role in cellular and subcellular activities.
