-
3.00 Credits
A modern introduction to the theory of the interaction of radiation and matter and the practice of molecular spectroscopy. Conventional microwave, magnetic resonance, optical, photoelectron, double-resonance, and laser spectroscopic techniques will be included.
-
3.00 Credits
Theoretical and experimental aspects of important rate processes in chemistry.
-
3.00 Credits
The first half of the course covers the principles and techniques of macro- molecular structure determination using X-ray crystallography. The second half of the course covers extracting biological information from X-ray crystal structures with special emphasis on using structures reported in the recent literature and presented by the students.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite(s): One year of organic chemistry and a biochemistry course, or permission of instructor. Reaction mechanisms in biological (enzymes, abzymes, ribozymes) and biomimetic systems with emphasis on principles of catalysis, role of coenzymes, kinetics, and allosteric control.
-
3.00 Credits
This course considers the noninvasive, quantitative, and repetitive imaging of targeted macromolecules and biological processes in living cells and organisms.Imaging advances have arisen from new technologies, probe chemistry, molecular biology, and genomic information. This course covers the physical principles underlying many of the latest techniques, and defines experimental parameters such as spatial and temporal resolution, gain, noise, and contrast. Applications to cellular and in vivo imaging are highlighted for confocal, two-photon, and force microscopies; single-molecule, CARS, and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy; FRET and fluorescence bleaching; mass spectroscopy; MRI, PET and SPECT. The role of molecular imaging agents comprised of proteins, organic or inorganic materials is widely discussed.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is focused on molecular species that contain metal-carbon bonds, and the role of these compounds in catalytic processes and organic synthesis. Aspects of the synthesis, structure and reactivity of important classes of organometallic compounds such as metallo alkyl, aryl, alkene, alkylidene and alkylidyne complexes are surveyed for the d and f block metals. Emphasis is placed on general patterns of reactivity and recurring themes for reaction mechanisms.
-
3.00 Credits
This course encompasses a comprehensive survey of the chemistry and properties of the p-block elements of the periodic table. Topics include syntheses, structures and reactivities of important compounds. In addition, alternative bonding theories which have been used to explain the unique properties of these compounds are critically examined.
-
3.00 Credits
The course covers selected topics in bioinorganic chemistry; special emphasis is placed on dioxygen chemistry and electron transfer processes. Course topics include: (i) oxygen uptake and utilization; (ii) diatomic oxygen trans port; (iii) diatomic and monoatomic oxygen incorporation into substrates; (iv) metalloenzyme-catalyzed C-C bond formation; (v) the metallobiochemistry of DNA; (vi) metal-sulfide proteins; (vii) manganese-containing metalloproteins; (viii) Photosystem II: light-driven electron transfer and the biological water-splitting reaction; (ix) biological electron transfer; (x) electron transfer theory; (xi) mechanisms of energy storage and release; and (xii) long-distance electron transfer reactions.
-
3.00 Credits
Both terms. May be repeated for credit with permission of instructor. Readings and discussion on various topics with various faculty members.
-
3.00 Credits
May be repeated for credit and may be taken for multiple course unit credit if more than one topic is offered in a term.
