Three semester hours. (LS if taken with CHEM-309a.) Note: Students may not receive credit for both BCMB-307 and CHEM-309.
-
3.00 Credits
Dr. Roberts, Faculty The study of properties, structure, synthesis and function of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. Enzyme catalysis, metabolism of biomolecules, and the biochemical basis of selected physiological processes are also included. Prerequisites: Biology 201W and Chemistry 205, 205L, 206 and 206L, or permission of instructor. Three hours of lecture; three hours of laboratory. Four semester hours. (LS.)
-
3.00 Credits
Faculty An off-campus academic/work experience with a primary focus on a laboratory research project. Before beginning the internship, the student must submit a proposal to be approved by the faculty internship advisor. Upon completion of the work, written and oral presentations must be made to the program faculty. Prerequisites: Biology 201W and Chemistry 206L. Ten-12 hours per week with a minimum of 160 hours for one semester or four weeks of full-time work. Graded S/U. Four semester hours. (I.)
-
6.00 Credits
Faculty Laboratory and library work, under the direction of a faculty member, designed to introduce the student to fundamental research procedures and data interpretation in the context of a research project. Upon completion of the work, a formal presentation must be given. This course may be taken more than once. At the time of registration, written consent of the instructor is required. Six hours of laboratory per week. Graded S/U. Two semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Dr. Roberts The study of diverse, complex interactions among biomolecules introduced in BCMB-351, considering both natural (in vivo) and artificial (in vitro) contexts. Cellular mechanisms underlying the regulation of biomolecular interactions and their relevance to selected areas of discovery are also included. This course (together with BCMB-426W, -429W or -433W) fulfills the capstone, oral and writing requirements of the major. Prerequisite: BCMB-351. Three hours of lecture; three hours of laboratory. Four semester hours. (LS.)
-
4.00 Credits
Faculty Independent laboratory and library investigation in biochemistry and/or molecular biology, with oral progress reports and a research paper presented to the program faculty. This course may be taken more than once. At the time of registration, written consent of the research advisor is required. 12-14 hours of laboratory per week. Four semester hours. ( I.)
-
3.00 Credits
Faculty A continuation of BCMB-491 with a final seminar and thesis describing research work. Emphasis is placed on oral and written presentation, as well as advanced laboratory techniques. Prerequisites: BCMB-491, BCMB- 452W (or concurrently). 12 -14 hours of laboratory per week. Four semester hours. (I.)
-
3.00 Credits
Dr. Kohn A study of the cellular and molecular basis of neuronal function. The course includes molecular properties of neurons, release of neurotransmitters, receptors in synaptic transmission, effects of drugs, synaptic plasticity, and neurological disorders. Prerequisites: Biology 201W; or permission of the instructor. Three hours of lecture; three hours of laboratory per week. Four semester hours. (LS.)
-
3.00 Credits
Dr. Lobo A survey of gene structure, transcription, translation, regulation, and replication, as well as the theory underlying laboratory techniques used in their study. Laboratory experiments will include DNA and protein isolation, enzymatic manipulations, electrophoresis, and nucleic acid hybridization in an attempt to clone and analyze a bacterial gene. Prerequisites: Biology 201W; or permission of the instructor. Three hours of lecture; three hours of laboratory. Four semester hours. (LS.)
-
3.00 Credits
Dr. Roberts An introduction to the principles of protein and DNA structure, X-ray crystallography, structure visualization and interpretation, and bioinformatics. The use of these concepts to understand biological function at the level of individual molecular interactions and at the level of complex processes will be demonstrated through specific biological examples. Laboratory work will emphasize structure-determining techniques and use of scientific databases and protein visualization software. Prerequisite: Biology 201W; or permission of the instructor. Three hours of lecture; three hours of laboratory per week. Four semester hours. (LS)
