  • CHEMISTRY 231a: MCSR,INS.Biochemistry and Cell Biology

    3.00 Credits
    Bowdoin College

    Every spring. BRUCE KOHORN. Focuses on the structure and function of cells as we have come to know them through the interpretation of direct observations and experimental results. Emphasis is on the scientific (thought) processes that have allowed us to understand what we know today, emphasizing the use of genetic, biochemical, and optical analysis to understand fundamental biological processes. Covers details of the organization and expression of genetic information, and the biosynthesis, sorting, and function of cellular components within the cell. Concludes with examples of how cells perceive signals from other cells within cell populations, tissues, organisms, and the environment. Three hours of lab each week. (Same as Biology 224.) Prerequisite: Biology 104, 105, or 109. Chemistry 225 is recommended.

  • CHEMISTRY 254a: MCSR,INS.Physical Chemistry Laboratory

    4.00 Credits
    Bowdoin College

    Spring 2007. ERIC S. PETERSON. Experiments in thermodynamics, kinetics, spectroscopy, and quantum chemistry. Modern methods, such as vibrational and electronic spectroscopy, calorimetry, and time-resolved kinetics measurements, are used to verify and explore fundamental concepts in physical chemistry. In addition, instrumental topics are discussed. These include computer-based data acquisition, nuclear magnetic resonance, and the use of pulsed and continuous wave lasers. Emphasis is placed on understanding concepts, on a modular approach to experimental design, and on the development of scientific writing skills. Lectures and four hours of laboratory work per week. Prerequisite: Chemistry 252 (generally taken concurrently) or permission of the instructor.

  • CHEMISTRY 263a: MCSR,INS.Laboratory in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry

    3.00 Credits
    Bowdoin College

    Every semester. KATHERINE R. FARNHAM AND THE BIOCHEMISTRY PROGRAM. Comprehensive laboratory course in molecular biology and biochemistry that reflects how research is conducted and communicated. Includes sequential weekly experiments, resulting in a cohesive, semester-long research project. Begins with genetic engineering to produce a recombinant protein, continues with its purification, and finishes with functional and structural characterization. Emphasis is on cloning strategy, controlling protein expression, and protein characterization using techniques such as polymerase chain reaction, affinity chromatography, isoelectric focusing and high-performance liquid chromatography. Students also learn to manipulate data using structural and image analysis software. (Same as Biology 263.) Prerequisite: Biology 224 or Chemistry 231 (may be taken concurrently).

  • CHEMISTRY 305a: Environmental Fate of Organic Chemicals

    3.00 Credits
    Bowdoin College

    Fall 2006. DHARNI VASUDEVAN. Over 100,000 synthetic chemicals are currently in daily use. In order to determine the risk posed to humans and ecosystems, we need to understand and anticipate the extent and routes of chemical exposure. Addresses the fate of organic chemicals following their intentional or unintentional release into the environment - why these chemicals either persist or break down and how are they distributed between surface water, ground water, soil, sediments, biota, and air. Analysis of chemical structure is used to gain insight into molecular interactions that determine the various chemical transfer and transformation processes, while emphasizing the quantitative description of these processes. (Same as Environmental Studies 305.) Prerequisite: Chemistry 225.
