3.00 Credits
A study of the fundamental principles of protein biochemistry with an introduction to metabolism. Topics include chemistry of amino acids, relationship between protein structure and function, enzyme kinetics and mechanisms, regulation of enzymatic activity. The laboratory focuses on the application of biochemical principles to the solving of biological problems in living systems. Laboratory experimental methods include protein and nucleic acid characterization, purification of enzymes, enzyme kinetic measurements, and forensic biochemistry. Meets: Three hours class, three hours laboratory. Recommended: BIOL 22. Prerequisite: CHEM 26. Corequisite: CHEM 118. Offered fall semester.
-
1.00 Credits
Basic techniques of experimental biochemistry including spectrophotometric and chromatographic techniques. Projections will include protein quantitation enzyme assay, dipeptide sequencing, characterization of a simple sugar. Meets: 3 hours laboratory. Corequisite: CHEM 117. Offered annually. Same as: MAT 844.

4.00 Credits
A thorough study of the chemistry, regulation, and integration of our human metabolic pathways. Topics involving human metabolism include bioenergetics, the biosynthesis and degradation of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids and a study of various metabolic diseases (i.e. diabetes). Additional topics include chemistry of nucleic acids, gene expression, signal transduction pathways, and photosynthesis. Meets: Four hours class. Prerequisite: CHEM 117. Offered spring semester.
-
1.00 Credits
A study of advanced inorganic synthesis and characterization techniques, including magnetic susceptibility, non-aqueous solvents, the preparation and resolution of chiral coordination complexes, synthesis of organotransition metal compounds, and inorganic polymers. Meets: Three hours laboratory. Prerequisite: CHEM 27, 106. Offered spring semester.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of advanced topics in both physical and inorganic chemistry. Topics in physical chemistry include molecular symmetry and group theory and their application to electronic and vibrational spectra of molecules, Fourier Transform nuclear magnetic resonance, electron paramagnetic resonance, Mossbauer and photoelectron spectroscopies. Topics in inorganic chemistry include coordination and organometallic chemistry. Builds on CHEM 27 and CHEM 103 to consider theoretical spectroscopic perspectives of coordination compounds. Topics in organometallic chemistry include the Effective Atomic Number Rule, reactions and catalysis, and transition metal clusters. Prerequisite: CHEM 27 and CHEM 103. Offered spring semester in even-numbered years.
-
4.00 Credits
An opportunity for upper-level students to receive credit for independent and/or original work, which may lead to candidacy for honors. A one-hour weekly research seminar meeting plus a minimum of six hours laboratory per week working under the supervision of either chemistry or RISE faculty. Independent library work is also expected. Research seminar includes discussion of research results, online chemical database searching and current topics in chemistry. Attendance at department colloquia is also required. Credit for research is awarded on satisfactory completion of a research paper. Registration is accepted only after a student has selected a project following consultation with at least two possible research advisers. May be taken for a second semester but total credits may not exceed eight credits. Course may be repeated. Signature of instructor required for registration. Prerequisite: CHEM 106. Offered every semester.
-
1.00 Credits
Open only to senior chemistry majors. Required for graduation and involves a formal presentation of the student research project completed in 129/Research in Chemistry, and a pass in the departmental comprehensive oral exam. Prerequisite: CHEM 129. Offered spring semester.
