Chemistry and Biochemistry 427W - Biophysical Chemistry Laboratory

Institution:

University of San Diego

Subject:

Description:

An advanced laboratory course in which spectroscopic techniques are applied to biological problems in order to extract thermodynamic, kinetic and structural information. This information will then be correlated to function of the biomolecule. The techniques to be explored may include UV-Vis, CD, FTIR, NMR, MS, fluorescence spectroscopy and the computational methods necessary for data analysis. The fundamental principles and special considerations of their application to enzymes, proteins, DNA and other biomolecules will be presented in lecture and carried out in the laboratory. This course fulfills the upper-division writing requirement. Two laboratory periods weekly. Prerequisites: Chem 220 or Biol 300L, Chem 301, 302, 301L, 302L. Corequisities: Chem 311 and Chem 331 or consent of instructor. (spring semester, may not always be offered as a "W" course)
