-
3.00 Credits
A study of the intermediary metabolism of living cells. The principal metabolic pathways studied are those which provide for synthesis, degradation, and interconversion of carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, and nucleotides. Particular emphasis is given to respiration and photosynthesis as central bioenergetic processes in the cell. Prerequisite: BMB 310 or permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the molecular basis of genetic control in living cells. Primary areas of interest are the nucleic acid organization of genes; their packaging within chromosomes; and the replication, modification, mutation, repair, recombination, transcription, translation, control, evolution, and engineering of genes. Prerequisite: BMB 310 or permission of the instrucutor.
-
1.00 Credits
This laboratory course introduces molecular genetic research techniques. Standard experiments in this field are performed, including: DNA isolation, plasmid purification, restriction enzyme digests and mapping, gel elution, ligation reactions, transformations, polymerase chain reactions, Southern blots, DNA hybridization analyses and DNA sequencing analysis/bioinformatics. Prerequisite: BMB 330 or concurrently.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of eukaryotic cell structure and function at the molecular level. Topics include modern approaches to studying cells, membrane structure and function, intracellular compartments, protein sorting, exo- and endocytosis, cell signaling, cytoskeleton, extracellular matrix, cell and molecular mechanisms of development, and cancer. Prerequisite: BMB 330 or permission of the instructor.
-
1.00 Credits
This laboratory course introduces cell biology research techniques, including cell culture, immunocytochemistry, fluorescence microscopy, and digital imaging of microscopic images. Prerequisite: BMB 340 or concurrently.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of current research topics in biochemistry and molecular biology through analysis of research articles and by presentations from visiting lecturers. Students are expected actively to participate in discussion and to present several formal talks. It is intended that all of the areas covered in the BMB major will be represented by the topics and speakers chosen. In addition, students write a research paper and give a presentation on a topic of their own choosing. Open only to senior BMB majors.
-
4.00 Credits
A chemistry course for the student who intends to take only one term of college chemistry. Basic chemical principles are studied with a view to understanding the role which chemistry plays in everyday life. Both the methods of science and its applications are discussed. Laboratory work is required. Note: Not open to students who have taken CHE 131. Prerequisite: MAT 110 or basic skills in math.
-
4.00 Credits
Topics studied include solutions, reaction rates, chemical equilibrium, acid-base reactions, solubility equilibria, thermodynamics, and electrochemistry. Laboratory work is required. Prerequisite: CHE 131.
-
4.00 Credits
An accelerated coverage of general chemistry for students with strong high school chemistry preparation. Many topics, such as stoichiometry and gas laws, are only briefly reviewed. Topics treated in more detail include atomic and molecular theory, chemical bonding theories, kinetics, equilibrium processes, acids and bases, and chemical thermodynamics. Laboratory work is required. Students who complete CHE 135 may not register for CHE 131 or 132; students who complete CHE 131 or 132 may not register for CHE 135.
-
4.00 Credits
The structure, nomenclature, stereochemistry, and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and alkyl halides are studied. The mechanistic pathways of reactions, methods of synthesis, and spectroscopic determination of structure are also discussed. Laboratory work is required. Prerequisite: CHE 132.
