-
1.00 Credits
Departmental honors in biochemistry and molecular biology requires laboratory research, a thesis and a seminar.
-
1.00 Credits
Internships are arranged through the Career Services Office. Students may register under BCMB 298 provided that the Clark internship supervisor is a member of the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology program.
-
1.00 Credits
For majors seeking research experience in BCMB. Involves a laboratory research project. Offered for variable credit Prerequisite: Permission of the faculty research mentor
Prerequisite:
Permission of the faculty research mentor
-
1.00 Credits
Explores recent discoveries in the molecular genetics of prokaryotes and eukaryotes, with emphasis on new findings related to catalytic activities of RNA. Topics include: protein synthesis, RNA transcription, gene regulation, RNA splicing, catalytic RNA and origins of living systems. Intended primarily for seniors and graduate students.
-
1.00 Credits
A comprehensive survey of biochemistry and molecular biology, including protein structure, enzyme kinetics, membrane structure, DNA structure, replication, transcription and translation. The laboratory introduces basic techniques including safe use of radioisotopes, isolation of proteins, purification of enzymes, enzyme kinetics, gel electrophoresis, column chromatography and DNA isolation and characterization.
-
1.00 Credits
Presents an in-dept view of protein structures and molecular properties, and discussions of how structure and properties are inextricably linked to biological function. Topics discussed include: chemical properties of polypeptides, biosynthesis of proteins, posttranslational modifications, evolutionary and genetics origins of protein sequences, physical interactions that determine the properties of proteins, the folded conformations of proteins, proteins in solution and in membranes, interaction of proteins with other molecules, enzyme catalysis and protein degradation. This course has a computational component which will provide students with hands-on learning experience.
Prerequisite:
BCMB 271 or permission of instructor
-
1.00 Credits
This course provides an introduction to biology appropriate for those interested in general biology, genetics, and cellular-level biology, or who are contemplating a career in the health sciences. It is designed with three general goals in mind: (1) to provide students with an understanding of the unifying themes in modern biology, (2) to introduce students to the diversity of life forms at all levels of organization, and (3) to illustrate the methods and modes of scientific inquiry in the biological sciences. Students are introduced to principles of evolution and genetics. Fulfills the Science Perspective.

1.00 Credits
This course provides an introduction to biology appropriate for those interested in environmental and conservation biology. It is designed with three general goals in mind: (1) to provide students with an understanding of the unifying themes in modern biology, (2) to introduce students to the diversity of life forms at all levels of organization, and (3) to illustrate the methods and modes of scientific inquiry in the biological sciences. Students are introduced to principles of evolution, genetics, behavior and ecology. Satisfies BIOL 101 requirement for the biology major and is one of three core requirements for the environmental science major. Fulfills the Science Perspective.
-
1.00 Credits
An introduction to the mechanisms and patterns of evolutionary change during the earth's history. Although this course will briefly survey the major evolutionary events that have occurred since life first evolved, the emphasis will be on mechanisms of evolutionary change (e.g. mutation, natural selection, genetic drift and gene flow) and resultant patterns (e.g. phylogenetic pattern, coevolution, stasis, adaptive radiation).
Prerequisite:
BIOL 100, BIOL 101 or BIOL 103, and BIOL 102, or permission.
-
1.00 Credits
Introduces the fundamental principles and methods of microbiology with applications to the biomedical and environmental sciences. In the laboratory, students will isolate, cultivate, and characterize an unknown microorganism, and then identify the organism using modern molecular methods.
Prerequisite:
BIOL 101 or BIOL 103, BIOL 102 and CHEM 102; or permission of instructor.BIOL 100
