2.00 Credits
Independent biochemical research based on a proposal developed in BCH 408. A written thesis, a final oral presentation, and a thesis defense are required. The thesis must be approved by a thesis committee for a final grade to be submitted. Prerequisite: BCH 409. 2 semester hours
-
3.00 Credits
This is the first of a two-semester sequence in the fundamentals of biochemistry. Major goals are (l) to introduce the language of biochemistry and (2) to provide an understanding of the physical, chemical, and biological context in which biochemistry takes place. The course provides the structural framework of biochemistry through examination of the molecular components of the cell and protein dynamics. Topics include the thermodynamics of biological systems, amino acids and protein structure, carbohydrates, lipids and membrane structure, membrane transport systems, nucleotides and nucleic acid structure, and enzyme dynamics- kinetics and mechanism of catalysis. Prerequisite: CHEM 256. Corequisite: BCH 453. 3 hours lecture. 3 semester hours

3.00 Credits
This is the second course in a two-semester sequence in the fundamentals of biochemistry. Major goals are (1) to introduce the language of biochemistry and (2) to provide an understanding of the physical, chemical, and biological context in which biochemistry takes place. The course covers bioenergetics and intermediate metabolism: glycolysis, the TCA Cycle, electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation, photosynthesis, glucose and glycogen metabolism, fatty acid catabolism, lipid biosynthesis, amino acid metabolism, and the synthesis and degradation of nucleotides. Prerequisite: BCH 451. Corequisite: BCH 454. 3 hours lecture. 3 semester hours
-
1.00 Credits
This laboratory course is taken together with the lecture course BCH 451 and includes laboratory exercises that are complementary to the topics covered in that course. It is the first-semester laboratory course in a two-semester sequence that includes BCH 454. The laboratory exercises are designed to further develop analytical and laboratory skills as applied to a modern biochemistry laboratory setting. In addition, this course may include exercises in biochemical modeling and bioinformatics. Prerequisites: CHEM 256 and 258. Corequisite: BCH 451. 3 hours laboratory. 1 hour lab discussion. 1 semester hour

1.00 Credits
This second laboratory course is designed to be taken together with the lecture course BCH 452 and includes laboratory exercises that are complementary to the topics covered in that course. The laboratory exercises are designed to further develop analytical and laboratory skills as applied to a modern biochemistry laboratory setting. In addition, this course may include exercises in biochemical modeling and bioinformatics. Prerequisite: BCH 453. Corequisite: BCH 452. 3 hours laboratory. 1 semester hour

3.00 Credits
This biochemistry-related work experience or other activity is offered only upon special application from the student and a supervising faculty member. Approval must be obtained in advance from the biochemistry committee and requires a specific outline of work to be done: the nature and extent of its academic relevance and the academic and special preparation of the student for the proposed activity. Written approval must be obtained from the employer/sponsor, and arrangements must be made for regular contact between the student and the supervising faculty member. The student is responsible for making all arrangements. A written final report must be submitted upon completion of the activity. The student is required to make an oncampus presentation detailing the internship. A pass/fail grade will be assigned. The number of semester hours earned will depend on the extent of the approved activity (12 semester hours corresponds to full-time work for a semester). Prerequisites: Junior or senior standing, a GPA of at least 2.5 both in the major and cumulative in all courses, and approval of both the academic advisor of the student and the head of the science division. 3-12 semester hours
-
3.00 Credits
Students engage in individual investigation of a problem in biochemistry by carrying out original research under the direction of a biochemistry faculty member. Awritten final report must be submitted upon completion of the project, and the student is required to make a presentation at an on- or off-campus forum. Prerequisites: Senior standing and permission of the sponsoring faculty member. The student is required to complete a minimum of three credit hours. Topics are arranged individually. Students may enroll in BCH 499 for two semesters. This course is not a substitute for the Senior Thesis. 3 or more semester hours

3.00 Credits
Introductory course designed to emphasize the established fundamental principles common to all known forms of life. Topics for discussion include the orgin of life forms (abiogenesis) on this planet, and the evolution and operation (metabolism and self-perpetuation) of such forms of life at various levels of biological organization. Comprehension of the principles including "complementarity between structure and function" is emphasizedthroughout. Designed as a science elective for Legal Education Institute students, available only on the Delaware Campus. 3 hours lecture. 3 semester hours

3.00 Credits
This is an introduction to the processes that normally occur in the human body. Anatomical and physiological considerations include the nervous and endocrine systems, the muscle and skeletal systems, the respiratory and digestive systems, the circulatory system, and the reproductive system. Designed as a science elective for business, humanities, social work, and social science students. Prerequisite: BIOL 101 or BIOL 107. 3 hours lecture. 3 semester hours
