3.00 Credits
This course provides an in depth three-week scientific and cultural experience in China facilitated through Duquesne University and the Chinese Association of Science and Technology. Students will travel to several universities in China and work in seminars or small groups with the opportunity to (1)communicate orally and in] writing in topics such as environmental chemistry and pollution abatement; (2)acquire appropriate learning skills for collective laboratory work: (3)become familiar with global scientific issues through actively participating in scientific presentations. Students must participate in pre-trip seminars during the spring semester, in the August three-week trip including all activities during the trip, in the writing of reports to include in the trip summary document, and in a post-trip presentation to the public. Pass/Fail.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to modern biochemistry at the molecular level. The course includes discussion of the structure and function of proteins, the chemical mechanisms and regulation of enzyme catalysis, biomembrane structure and function, the structure and metabolism of carbohydrates, and the bioenergetics metabolism of ATP synthesis and utilization. Preprequisite: a C or better in CHEM 212 or CHEM 212H. Lecture, three hours.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of CHEM 401. The course presents an overview of the metabolic transformations of fatty acids and the complex lipids, amino acids and the purine and pyrimidine nucleotides. The second half of the course offers a discussion of the molecular basis of genetics, including DNA and RNA metabolism, protein biosynthesis, and an introduction to the biochemical basis of recombinant DNA methodology. Prerequisite: a C or better in CHEM 401. Lecture, three hours.
-
3.00 Credits
A detailed study of protein structure, function and the methodology, both biophysical and molecular, used to study proteins and their interactions. Areas that will be covered will include domain structure, protein trafficking, small and large molecule interactions with proteins and protein modification. Throughout this course the students will be introduced to the practical biophysical and molecular biology methods utilized in the study of proteins, protein-protein interactions and protein-nucleic acid interactions.
-
3.00 Credits
The course heavily draws upon the basic priniples of inorganic chemistry and applies them to transition metal chemistry. Topics include organometallic compounds, coordinateion compounds, point group symmetry, ligand field theory, and its applications, as well as electronic spectra, inorganic reaction mechanisms, and extended solids. Prerequisite: a C or better in CHEM 312 and CHEM 322. Lecture, three hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Theoretical and practical training of modern methods in chemical analysis with emphasis on instrumental methods. Corequisite: CHEM 301 or CHEM 321. Prerequisite: A C or better in CHEM 230L. Lecture, three hours.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Students work in small teams on real research problems. Each team contributes to a single problem, and several chemical and biochemical problems may be studied over the course of a semester. Examples include determining the expression of quality markers and antioxidants in wine production, problems of self assembled biomolecules, protein structure-function relationships, lipid reactivity and physiochemical behavior, etc. Problems are designed according to student careeer interests. They will also learn advanced data analysis and communication skills. Prerequisite: a C or better in CHEM 325L, CHEM 325R. Laboratory, 8 hours; recitation, two hours.
-
1.00 Credits
Recitation meets once per week to discuss work done in integrated lab, to plan for the coming week, to exchange information among groups, to learn fundamental instrumentation and chemical principles as they apply to the integrated lab projects, and to develop communication and teamwork skills.
