These days, we don't have to worry too much about meeting an early demise from ulcers, breaks in the stomach lining that could be fatal back in the early 1900s. This is because we have medicines to treat them, like proton pump inhibitors! In this final episode of Crash Course Organic Chemistry, we'll look at medicinal chemistry by breaking down how penicillin fights bacteria, how proteins are made both in the body and in the lab, and we'll finally finish the synthesis of penicillin V and complete the Mold Medicine Map! Hopefully this series has shown you the many ways organic chemistry is all around and how it can help to better understand ourselves, and improve the world!
