3.00 Credits
The emphasis in this course is on applications of instrumental analysis to all aspects of chemistry. Students will gain knowledge of the theory and usage of a variety of modern instrumental methods including spectrophotometry, spectroscopy, chromatography, and electroanalytical techniques. They will also gain experience in applying their knowledge in solving analytical problems. Prerequisites: CH 216 or CH 253. Offered Spring semester. Two credits.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is concerned with how macromolecular structures self-assemble, chemical mechanisms of reactions that occur in living systems, and the molecular basis of cellular regulation. Protein structure/ function and metabolism are the central themes of this course. The specific objectives are to familiarize the student with the structure and function of amino acids/peptides/proteins, enzyme catalysis, and regulation, carbohydrate structure and function, and an overview of metabolism, synthetic/degradative pathways and their regulation. Prerequisites: CH 221-224; completion of CH 222 with a grade of C- or better OR permission of instructor; one year of general biology is strongly recommended. Offered Fall semester. Three credits.
-
3.00 Credits
This course focuses on two major themes, the structure and function of membranes and the biochemistry of nucleic acids. The topics covered will include: structures of lipids and membranes, membrane proteins, signal transduction, structure of DNA and RNA, DNA replication and repair, RNA synthesis, protein synthesis, and the biochemical basis for control of gene expression. Emphasis throughout the course will be on the molecular mechanisms and protein components involved in various structures and processes. Prerequisites: CH 221-224; completion of CH 222 with a grade of C- or better OR permission of instructor; one year of general biology strongly recommended. Offered Spring semester. Three credits.
-
1.00 Credits
This laboratory course is intended to expose the student to laboratory aspects of modern protein chemistry and expand on some material covered in CH 251. Students will carry out experiments illustrating physical properties of proteins, protein purification (including various forms of chromatography and electrophoresis), and enzyme kinetics/inhibition. Must be taken simultaneously with, or after successful completion of CH 251. Offered Fall semester. One credit.
-
1.00 Credits
This laboratory course introduces students to experimental techniques used in the study of membranes and nucleic acids. Methods will include membrane structure and dynamics, ligand binding to DNA, DNA electrophoresis, and characterization of nucleic acid/protein complexes. Must be taken simultaneously with, or after completion of CH 252. Offered Spring semester. One credit.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will incorporate the study of the chemistry of air, water and soil in terms of both the natural and polluted environments. The topics covered will include: stratospheric ozone, chemistry of the troposphere, toxic organic chemicals, natural water chemistry, water treatment processes, and heavy metal contamination in soils. Prerequisite: CH 216. Offered Fall semester of even-numbered years. Three credits.
-
3.00 Credits
A laboratory course emphasizing the sampling, preparation, and analysis of water and air samples. The course is primarily laboratory based in which teams of students work on a set of environmental projects. Students are responsible for the planning, preparation, sampling, analysis, and reporting for each project. Each project will emphasize a different type of environmental matrix and different types of chemical analysis. Sample analysis will include use of atomic absorption spectrophotometry, chromatography, inductively coupled plasma spectrophotometry, turbidity, and conductivity. Prerequisite: CH 216. Offered Fall semester of evennumbered years. Two credits.
-
2.00 Credits
This course is an integrated laboratory that introduces advanced students to the physical and instrumental methods used by chemists. Students in this course will learn about (1) the integrated nature of chemical research, (2) a variety of advanced laboratory techniques, and (3) the methods of experimental design and report presentation. The laboratory experiments focus on atomic behavior, molecular structure, and kinetics. Taken simultaneously with, or after CH 232 and CH 242. Offered every Spring semester. Two credits.
-
2.00 Credits
This course is an integrated laboratory that introduces advanced students to a variety of contemporary topics in experimental chemistry. Students in this course will learn about (1) the integrated nature of chemical research, (2) a variety of advanced laboratory techniques, and (3) the methods of experimental design and report presentation. The laboratory experiments focus on advanced organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, polymers, and materials science. Taken simultaneously with, or after CH 321. Offered Fall semester of odd-numbered years. Two credits.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will introduce the student to the research experience and will include an orientation to the library and use of reference materials. Students will be assigned articles to read and discuss. An introduction to writing and presenting a research proposal will be included. Students will be introduced to the procedure for maintaining a laboratory research notebook. Students must be available to attend CH 302 when outside speakers present seminars on selected topics in that course. Prerequisite: CH 231. Offered Spring semester. One credit.
