4.00 Credits
This course examines the mechanisms of evolutionary change at both the micro and macroevolutionary scales. Topics include the maintenance of genetic variation, population structure and speciation, molecular evolution, systematic methods and applications, and macroevolution. Three two-hour sessions per week. Prerequisite: Biology 252 or permission of instructor. BROWN.
-
4.00 Credits
An examination of the molecular biology of the cell and associated technology. The application of techniques such as molecular cloning, PCR amplification, DNA sequencing and hybridization to contemporary issues in biology are emphasized in lecture and laboratory. Two lectures and one laboratory per week. Prerequisite: Biology 252, or Biological Chemistry 262, or permission of instructor. GREGG-JOLLY.
-
4.00 Credits
The biology of bacterial, animal, and plant viruses: mechanisms of entry and release of virions, replication and expression of genomes, effects on host cells, with emphasis on current scientific literature. Laboratory includes multiweek investigations based on aspects of the life cycles of bacterial and animal viruses. Three lectures, one scheduled lab each week. Prerequisite: Biology 251 or permission of instructor. STAFF.

4.00 Credits
See Directed Research. STAFF.
-
4.00 Credits
An introductory course. Primary emphasis on stoichiometry, atomic and molecular structure, dynamic equilibrium, acid-base chemistry, thermodynamics, electronic structure, and intermolecular interactions. Three classes, one laboratory each week. Prerequisite: none. STAFF.
-
4.00 Credits
Leads to advanced work in the department. Principles of inorganic chemistry and elementary quantitative analysis, including ionic equilibrium, electrochemistry, and acid-base chemistry. Three classes, one laboratory each week. Not open to those who have take Chemistry 130. Prerequisite: Chemistry 129 or permission of instructor. STAFF.
-
4.00 Credits
A comprehensive study of structures, reactions, syntheses, and spectroscopy of aliphatic and aromatic compounds, which emphasizes modern mechanistic models. Three classes, one laboratory each week. Prerequisite: Chemistry 129 or permission of instructor. (Students with AP/IB credit or other off-campus credit to substitute for Chemistry 129 must take Chemistry 210). Prerequisite: for 222: Chemistry 221 or permission of instructor. STAFF.
-
4.00 Credits
Selected topics in organic chemistry, including spectral methods of identifying organic compounds, reaction mechanisms, and modern methods of organic synthesis. Laboratory emphasis on spectral, chromatographic, and synthetic methods. Three classes, one laboratory each week. Prerequisite: Chemistry 222 or permission of instructor. SIECK.
-
4.00 Credits
Examination of the mechanisms of enzyme reactions. Topics include enzyme structure, catalytic strategies, and methodologies to study enzyme mechanisms. Emphasis on enzymes that require a coenzyme (pyridoxal phosphate, flavin, etc.) to carry out their chemistry. Labs stress spectroscopic and kinetic techniques. Three classes, one laboratory each week. Prerequisite: Biological Chemistry 262 or permission of instructor. TRIMMER.
-
4.00 Credits
Exploration of advanced topics in biochemistry with an emphasis on physical methodologies (thermodynamics and kinetics) and techniques. Topics include ligand binding theory, protein folding, and structure determination, etc. Secondary emphasis involves topics in molecular neuroscience, such as second messenger systems and ion channels. Laboratory employs some of the techniques discussed and includes an independent project. Three classes, one laboratory each week. Completion of the introductory physics sequence and Chemistry 363 is recommended. Prerequisite: Biological Chemistry 262 and completion of or concurrent registration in Physics 131, or permission of instructor. LEVANDOSKI.
