3.00 Credits
This is an advanced laboratory with one hour of recitation each week for all chemistry majors. The lecture and experiments cover a wide range of techniques and topics including chemical literature, inorganic synthesis and characterization, photochemistry, titrations, kinetics, extractions, magnetic susceptibility, TLC, UV-Vis, crystal field theory, mass spectrometry, and chromatography. Prerequisites: CHEM A301, A303.
-
2.00 Credits
This course is an advanced chemistry laboratory that involves structural analysis, thermodynamics, chemical separations, electrochemistry, advanced kinetics, and spectroscopy. Classical and modern spectroscopic techniques, such as UV-Vis, FT/IR, and LIF are employed along with molecular modeling techniques. The semester concludes with a special project derived from the chemical literature. Prerequisites: CHEM A303, A306.
-
3.00 Credits
This lecture course is designed to introduce various topics in inorganic chemistry. The topics covered will include atomic structure, symmetry and group theory, introduction to ionic and covalent bonding models in coordination complexes, acid-base theories, aqueous chemistry, electrochemistry, and an introduction to bioinorganic chemistry. Prerequisite: CHEM A301.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a detailed description of the structure and function of the major classes of biological macromolecules: proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and sugars. Physical, chemical, experimental, and mechanistic aspects of macromolecules and their behavior are emphasized based on an understanding of the underlying principles of bonding, equilibria, thermodynamics, and kinetics. Topics covered include protein structure and folding, experimental methods used to characterize and manipulate proteins and DNA, allostery and other types of regulation, molecular disease, enzyme mechanism and inhibition, and membranes. Prerequisites: CHEM A300, A301.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a thorough coverage of metabolism and metabolic regulation. It begins with a brief review and expanded treatment of concepts from the first semester course of particular relevance to the study of metabolism such as energetics, membranes and membrane transport, receptors, and enzymes and their regulation. Topics covered include vitamins and cofactors, glycolysis, TCA cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, glycogen metabolism, gluconeogenesis, photosynthesis, and the metabolism of fatty acids, lipids, amino acids, and nucleotides. Emphasis is placed on understanding the chemical conversions involved, the interplay between various metabolic processes, and on understanding a variety of metabolic diseases. Prerequisites: CHEM A300, A301, A400.
-
1.00 Credits
Selected chemical and instrumental techniques will be performed by students based on lecture material covered in CHEM A400. Topics covered will include methods to label or sequence proteins, optical methods, NMR spectroscopy, enzyme kinetics and inhibition, column chromatography, introduction to basic molecular biology methods, and acrylamide and agarose gel electrophoresis. Prerequisites: CHEM A302, A400.
-
3.00 Credits
This combined lecture/lab course applies the principles of analytical chemistry to instrumental methods of analysis. The goal will be to provide the student with an introduction to the principles of spectroscopic, electrometric, and chromatographic methods of analysis. We will discuss the kinds of instruments that are available and the strengths and limitations of these instruments. We will focus on spectrometric, chromatographic, and electrochemical techniques such as: AA, UV/VIS/NIR, fluorometry, GC, GC/MS, HPLC, and CV. Prerequisite: CHEM A306 or permission of instructor.
