-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to modern inorganic chemistry; emphasis on relation of structure and bonding to the chemical and physical properties of compounds. Prerequisite: Chem 401 or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
A class in biological chemistry that emphasizes the role of metals in electron transfer and enzymatic catalysis. After a brief survey of essential concepts from biology, coordination chemistry, and spectroscopy, topics include: electron transfer systems; oxygen transport and activation; metal ion acquisition, transport, and homeostasis; enzymes catalyzing atom transfer reactions and radical-mediated processes. Prerequisites: Chem 262; Chem 461 recommended but not required.
-
3.00 Credits
The course begins with basic crystallography and common inorganic structure types. With the aid of computer modeling, students learn to analyze, index, and refine X-ray powder-diffraction data. Students are then taught to use phase diagrams to assess the compositions and microstructures of materials produced by various synthetic or processing methods. Crystal nucleation and growth, defects, and ion-conduction mechanisms also are introduced. The course concludes with an analysis of the mechanical properties of materials from a chemistry perspective. What makes some materials strong, stiff, and resistant to fracture? Prerequisites: Chem 111A-112A.
-
3.00 Credits
A laboratory course emphasizing both the synthesis of inorganic compounds and the study of their physical properties. Laboratory exercises introduce novel synthetic techniques such as high-temperature synthesis and vacuum line manipulations. Compounds are spectroscopically characterized by UV-visible, gas-phase infrared, and multinuclear and dynamic NMR spectroscopy. Measurements of electrochemical behavior, magnetic susceptibility, and electrical conductivity are performed. Prerequisite: Chem 461 or consent of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a survey of modern chemical biology focusing on the application of a broad array of chemical tools to biological problems. The course is roughly divided into four sections; biopolymers; computational methods and bioinformatics; tools for chemical biology; and applications of chemical biology. A mandatory discussion section accompanies the course and is used to review current and classical literature in the field. Prerequisites: Chem 262 and Biol 2970, or permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Topics include the properties and structures of biomolecules, including amino acids, nucleotides, lipids, carbohydrates, proteins and nucleic acids. Additional topics include enzyme kinetics and mechanisms, membrane structure and properties, protein folding, an introduction to metabolism, oxidative phosphorylation, and photosynthesis. This course is the first semester of an integrated two-semester sequence. The second course is Chem 482. Prerequisites: Biol 2970, Chem 262.
-
3.00 Credits
Continuation of General Biochemistry I. Topics include carbohydrate, lipid and amino acid metabolism, signal transduction, transport across membranes, DNA replication and repair, transcription and translation, molecular motors, mechanisms of drug action and natural products biosynthesis. Prerequisite: Chem 481 or Biol 4810. Same as Biol 4820
-
1.00 - 6.00 Credits
Advanced laboratory work on a selected topic in chemistry. Prerequisite: permission of the department. Credit/no credit only. If this course is to be submitted for Honors, the student must file the Honors form available at the chemistry department office before the end of junior year. Arrangements for registration should be completed during the preregistration period.
-
3.00 Credits
The student conducts research supervised by a chemistry department faculty member. At the end of the semester, the chemistry supervisor chairs a faculty committee to evaluate an oral public presentation and/or a concise written report, and a letter grade is assigned. The committee members and completion requirements must be approved by the supervisor prior to registration. This course may provide a Capstone Experience but does not fulfill the Writing-Intensive requirement. The units earned may be applied as elective advanced credits toward a chemistry major with Latin honors eligibility. Course may be taken only once for credit. Prerequisite: Chem 490 and/or other advanced electives or research experience specified by the supervisor.
-
5.00 Credits
Introduction to the modern spoken and written national language of China. Five regular hours and additional drill or laboratory sessions as assigned by instructor. Students with some previous Chinese language background must take placement examination.
