3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 4611 The thermodynamic, kinetic, and quantum mechanical properties of inorganic compounds are investigated. Bonding models are used to explain the physical and chemical properties of organometallic, main group, and heavy metal systems. Nuclear properties of the elements are explored and nuclear models are compared.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Consent of department Advanced Topics in Inorganic Chemistry exposes the students to current topics and problems in the fi eld of inorganic chemistry.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 2422 or 3422. Co-requisite: CHEM 3310K The fi rst of two-semester sequence in biochemistry covering the general physical and chemical properties of biomolecules and their metabolism. Topics will include biomolecular structure and function, fi rst-order enzyme kinetics, glycolysis and carbohydrate metabolism, Kreb's cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, fatty acid catabolism and biosynthesis, metabolism and utilization of amino acids, biologically important amines, and regulation of metabolism. Students should be aware that a heavy writing component is required for this course. COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES 187
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Completion of PHYS 1112 or 2212, CHEM 2422 or 3422, and CHEM 3310K. Completion of MATH 1634 and MATH 2644 with a grade of C or higher. The second semester of a two-semester sequence in biochemistry. Course will cover topics in physical biochemistry and spectroscopy of biomolecules. Specifi c topics will include protein folding, protein stability, protein-DNA interactions, physical chemistry of biomembranes, kinetics (beyond fi rst order), molecular mechanics and dynamics, NMR spectroscopy, optical spectroscopy (fl uorescence, circular dicroism, laser spectroscopy), mass spectrometry, and x-ray crystallography.
-
2.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 4711 and MATH 2644. Co-requisite: CHEM 4712 The laboratory course will emphasize the principles discussed in the lecture courses Biochemistry I and Biochemistry II. Half of the course will place emphasis on experiments that introduce students to the practices of protein separation, purifi cation, quantifi cation, and assays. The other half of the course will emphasize principles from physical biochemistry and spectroscopy of biomolecules. Experiments will examine macromolecular structure and stability, protein folding, lipid bilayer structure, and dynamics and enzyme kinetics. This course will provide students with experience in instrumental techniques that are used in research and industrial facilities.
-
2.00 Credits
Co-requisite: CHEM 4612 This laboratory course involves non-trivial synthesis of organic and inorganic molecules by a variety of advanced techniques (vacuum line, inert atmosphere, high/low temperature, etc.). Spectroscopic (FT-NMR, IR, UV, etc.) and computational methods are used to investigate, characterize, and compare experimental and theoretical properties of the synthesized molecules. Special emphasis will be placed on writing skills. Students should be aware that a heavy writing component is required for this course.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 3310K This course is an introduction to the practice of modern environmental chemistry. Topics include pollutants in water, soil, and the atmosphere, equilibria in aqueous systems, experimental methods in environmental analyses, toxicological chemistry, and current environmental problems. The laboratory will consist of EPA-approved methods of analyses. Same as ENVS 4920.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 3521 and CHEM 2422 This course focuses on macroscopic rates of chemical reactions as a tool to a molecular level understanding. The emphasis is on an integrated approach to view examples drawn from various sub-disciplines within chemistry, namely organic, inorganic and biological. Topics include integrated rate laws, experimental techniques in chemical kinetics, steady state approximation, mechanisms of organic, inorganic and enzyme reactions, catalysis, collision theory, and elementary activated complex theory.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 2422 and CHEM 3310K Commercial production of everyday and specialty chemicals will be discussed with emphasis on raw materials, chemistry, equipment, environmental impact. Typical industries: inorganic acids/bases, hydrocarbon derivatives, aromatics, petroleum refi ning, polymers, pesticides/fertilizers, paper/pulp, pharmaceuticals, soaps/detergents.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 2422, 3310K, and 3521 This course focuses on selected topics in chemistry which may consist of spectroscopy, magnetic resonance or stereochemistry. The emphasis is on an integrated approach to view examples that transcend sub-disciplines within chemistry, namely inorganic, organic, physical, analytical, and biochemistry.
