Scope
Organic chemistry equips you to understand the building blocks of drugs (functional groups), how they're made and broken down (reactions), and how their structure affects their effectiveness (structure-activity relationships). It's the foundation for appreciating drug design and contributing to future advancements in pharmaceuticals.
