  • Biochemistry 309: Biochemistry

    4.00 Credits
    St Lawrence University

    The course is organized around several themes: the relationship of structure to function in biomolecules, production of energy, regulation and control of metabolism. Topics covered to illustrate these themes include enzyme action and regulation, hemoglobin and the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide, metabolism of carbohydrates for energy production, structure and function of biological membranes, and structure and function of molecules involved in transmission and expression of genetic information. Prerequisite: Chemistry 222 or permission of instructor. Counts toward the neuroscience major (cellular track). Also offered as Biology 309 and Chemistry 309.

  • Biochemistry 394: R esearch Methods in Biochemistry

    4.00 Credits
    St Lawrence University

    This course introduces basic laboratory techniques and skills that are common in fields related to biochemistry, and applying those techniques to a guided research project. Attention is paid to both theory and application. Students develop a methodology notebook and prepare lab reports for each exercise, and write up an independent project in the style of a journal article. All learning is done in the laboratories, which meet two afternoons per week. Prerequisites: Chemistry 222 and any one of Biology 231, 245, 246, 250, 391 or Chemistry 309 (which can be taken as a co-requisite). Required for the biochemistry major and also carries credit toward the biology major/minor. Also offered as Biology 394.

  • Biochemistry 395: Research Methods in Molecular Biology

    4.00 Credits
    St Lawrence University

    Molecular techniques have revolutionized how biologists address problems in genetics, medicine, ecology, systematics, conservation and many other fields. Students obtain hands-on experience using basic and advanced molecular techniques, such as western blotting, nucleic acid (DNA and RNA) isolation and purification, DNA sequencing, gel electrophoresis and polymerase chain reaction (PCR), to study gene expression and genetic variability. The molecular techniques studied are the same used in laboratories worldwide. In addition to gaining practical experience in the laboratory, students learn about the theories behind each molecular protocol and study how biologists apply molecular techniques to answer fundamental biological questions. Prerequisites: Biology 245, 246, 250 or 394. Also offered as Biology 395.

  • Biochemistry 415: Advanced Biochemistry

    4.00 Credits
    St Lawrence University

    A variety of topics are covered in depth depending on the interests of the students. The course begins with an overview of metabolism and its hormonal regulation. Other topics may include protein synthesis and targeting, molecular immunology, sensory systems and neurotransmission, hormone action, membrane transport, oncogenes and cancer, photosynthesis, and advanced topics in metabolism. Topics of current interest may also be included. Through both written and oral presentation students develop their abilities to use the scientific literature and communicate in science. Prerequisite: Chemistry 309 or permission of instructor. Counts toward the neuroscience major (cellular track). Also offered as Biology 415 and Chemistry 415.

  • Biochemistry 489 ,490: SYE:Experimental Research

    1.00 Credits
    St Lawrence University

    Research projects for students desiring to pursue directed, experimental research in biochemistry. Students integrate acquired research skills and subject knowledge to collect original experimental data and to analyze the results in reference to the existing scientific primary literature. Under the direction of a faculty mentor, students conduct their SYE research project following either chemistry or biology department guidelines. Prerequisite: sponsorship by a faculty member.

  • Biology 121: T he Natural World

    4.00 Credits
    St Lawrence University

    A field biology-ecology course with laboratory for non-majors emphasizing the plants and animals of the Northeast. The course focuses on ecological factors and processes affecting individual organisms, communities and ecosystems. Students visit a variety of aquatic and terrestrial habitats to study local ecosystems and to learn the natural history of local plants and animals and how to identify them. Students also learn how to conduct a scientific study and record observational data. This course does not count toward the biology majors but does count toward the outdoor studies minor and the NSC with lab distribution credit. Also offered through Outdoor Studies.
