(一) 报告题目：Biosynthesis of Loline Alkaloids

报告内容： The fungal secondary metabolites, the loline alkaloids, feature a 1-aminopyrrolizidine ring with an unusual strained ether bridge connecting C(2) and C(7). I will discuss what we have learned about the biosynthetic pathway leading to these compounds and the enzymes that catalyze the biosynthetic steps.

(二) 报告题目：ACE Organic: a Web-based organic chemistry homework program

 报告内容： We have developed a Web-based homework program designed especially for organic chemistry. Students submit responses that consist of structures that they drew with the help of a structure-drawing program embedded in the Web page. If a response is incorrect, the program analyzes the response to give the most appropriate feedback without revealing the correct answer. The program can analyze multistep mechanisms and syntheses of any length.
