  • Chemistry 320: Intermediate Organic Chemistry

    4.00 Credits
    Hiram College

    Chemistry 320 will build on the material covered in Chemistry 220. It is imperative that students have a firm grasp of the concepts from Organic I before proceeding to Organic II. In particular, students are expected to understand the fundamentals of organic nomenclature, to be able to use spectroscopic data to determine chemical structure, to be familiar with substitution and elimination reactions, and to represent organic molecules in a variety of formats including Lewis structures, condensed formulas, skeletal formulas, and 3-D structures. In this course, students will be applying the fundamental aspects of the bonding and structure of carbon molecules to a number of new functional groups including amines and carbonyl compounds. Building on an introduction of these classes of compounds, students will also be exploring the major classes of large biological compounds, including carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. Included in the discussion of proteins will be an introduction to protein folding and conformation. In lab, students will continue to gain experience with a variety of techniques including extraction, distillation, crystallization, and chromatography. Hands-on use of instruments, including IR, HPLC, NMR and GC-MS will be an integral part of the course. All of these techniques will be used in a variety of synthesis and isolation labs, many of which have a discovery component to them. The last six weeks of the term will be devoted to individual syntheses. The final component of the course is an introduction to the literature of chemistry, and students will be introduced to the use of SciFinder Scholar?, and asked to access the primary literature in the field. Prerequisite: Chemistry 220.

  • Chemistry 330: Computation Chemistry

    4.00 Credits
    Hiram College

    ". Chemical questions are problems in applied mathematics." So beginan early text in quantum chemistry, and calculations now provide a useful addition to the chemist's toolbox. The course builds on physics and organic chemistry to develop the molecular mechanical and semi-empirical molecular orbital approaches to energetic and conformational calculations. "Ab initio" methods are then introduced, and their power (and cost) explored. This course is particularly suitable for chemists or molecular biologist considering careers in the chemical, pharmaceutical or biogenetic industries, but will provide an equally valuable introduction to material widely needed for graduate studies. Prerequisites: Chemistry 220, HS Physics.

  • Chemistry 340: X-Ray Crystallography

    4.00 Credits
    Hiram College

    X-ray diffraction is an important tool for finding the positions of atoms in molecular structures, and for measuring the resulting inter-atomic distance and angles. It is routinely applied to all classes of molecules, now including even those as complex as proteins. In this course, discussions of crystallization, X-ray production and detection, crystal symmetry and the Fourier relationship between direct and reciprocal space leads to the use of the SHELX software package (Sheldrick, 1997) for the solution of small molecule structures. We will introduce the XTALVIEW software package (McRee, 1999) as we look at the problems posed in protein crystallography. Some additional work will be required of those students wishing this to count as an Advanced Chemistry course. Prerequisite: Chemistry 220 and High School Physics.

  • Chemistry 366: Basic Biochemistry

    4.00 Credits
    Hiram College

    Biochemistry studies the molecules and chemical reactions in living organisms. Topics include the structure and chemical properties of major macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, nucleotides, and lipids) of living organisms, the role of enzymes and enzyme pathways by which these molecules are synthesized and degraded, and the cellular mechanisms which regulate and integrate metabolic processes. The laboratory emphasizes tools of biochemical analysis (spectrophotometry, chromatography, electrophoresis, centrifugation) in an examination of physical, chemical, and biological properties of biologically important molecules. Prerequisites: Chemistry 320, Biology 230. Also listed as Biology 366.
