  • 3.00 Credits

    Prerequisite: CHEM 302. Lecture course covering modern theories of atomic and molecular structure as applied to inorganic chemistry with discussion of acid-base theories, the chemistry, spectra and reaction mechanisms of coordination and organometallic compounds. Symmetry is used to develop molecular orbital diagrams, predict geometry, hybridization schemes and interpret electronic spectra. Outcome: Students will learn chemical principles in these areas.
  • 1.00 Credits

    Co-requisite: CHEM 340. A laboratory course illustrating topics and techniques used in modern inorganic chemistry; coordination and organometallic compounds are prepared and characterized by IR, UV-Vis and NMR spectroscopy, and magnetic susceptibility measurements. All experimental work is recorded in a laboratory notebook and includes a formal written report. Outcome: Students will demonstrate success in lab by making perceptive qualitative observations and accurate quantitative measurements.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Prerequisite: CHEM 222 or equivalent. This course examines the structural¿functional relationships in proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates and lipids as well as their metabolic pathways. Outcome: Students will be able to demonstrate an understanding of biological molecules and how they are metabolized.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Prerequisite: CHEM 361. Lecture course for chemistry majors involves an introductory lecture and presentations by the students for each of about five current topics. Outcome: Students will develop their ability to search current literature, communicate scientific data, and will continue to acquire and use biochemical knowledge under current development.
  • 2.00 Credits

    Prerequisite: CHEM 361. A laboratory course for chemistry majors teaching students experimental design and data analysis with an emphasis on developing the writing skills required to communicate scientific data in reports, papers and laboratory notebooks. Outcome: Students will be able to purify and characterize biomolecules in a research context.
  • 3.00 Credits

  • 3.00 Credits

    This is the first part of a two-semester Biochemistry series that emphasizes important biochemical concepts on the structure and function of proteins, enzymes, carbohydrates, lipids and cell membranes as well as on the bioenergetic and regulatory principles behind the central and carbohydrate pathways. Outcome: Students will be able to demonstrate and understanding of structural-functional relationships in biological molecules and how carbohydrates are metabolized.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Prerequisite: CHEM 370 This is the second part of a two-semester Biochemistry lecture series that emphasizes important biochemical concepts on lipid, amino acid and nucleotide metabolic pathways as well as the structure and function of nucleic acids. Special topics on sensory systems, motility, immunology and drug development will also be discussed. Outcome: Students will be able to demonstrate an understanding of metabolic pathways and of current research topics in biochemistry.
  • 2.00 Credits

    Prerequisite: CHEM 370 This laboratory is designed to simulate a research experience and to teach basic techniques utilized in a biochemistry laboratory. The course theme involves a comparative investigation of the enzyme glyceraidehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) from various animal sources. All procedures required in lab will be found by the student in the library and proposed to the instructor(s) as a pre-lab exercise. Each two-student team will be working on GAPDH from either an aquatic or land animal source, e.g., trout, tuna, pork beef or chicken. Outcome: Students will be able to purify and characterize an enzyme in a research context.
  • 2.00 Credits

    Prerequisite: CHEM 371 This laboratory course is designed to simulate a research project in wich molecular biology techniques and biochemistry are integrated. Those techniques are used as important tools to help solve questions in enzyme structure and function. he course theme involves an investigation on the relationship between protein structure and function of the ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (ADP-Glc PPase) from Escherichia coli. All procedure requied in lab will be found by the student in the library and proposed to the instructor(s) as a pre-lab exercise. Each two-student team will be working on a specific ADP-Glc PPase that has been previously obtained in a recombinant form. Their genes will be provided in a plasmid form. Outcome: Students will study the basic concepts of enzyme structure relationships and how to investigate them. The student will learn strategies to produce and test a hypothesis in this area. Additionally, the student will learn how to integrate molecular biology techniques and biochemistry.
