Chemistry
Course Requirements (18 hours):
Must Include:
BIOL 3161 Biochemistry Workshop I (1 semester hour) Problem solving methodology in biochemistry; discussion of recent advances in areas related to the subject matter in BIOL 3361. Corequisite: Concurrent enrollment in BIOL/CHEM 3361 (1-0) S
BIOL 3361 Biochemistry I (3 semester hours) Structures and chemical properties of amino acids; protein purification and characterization; protein structure and thermodynamics of polypeptide chain folding; catalytic mechanisms, kinetics and regulation of enzymes; energetics of biochemical reactions; generation and storage of metabolic energy associated with carbohydrates; oxidative phosphorylation and electron transport mechanisms; photosynthesis. Prerequisites: Organic Chemistry I and II. Co requisite: concurrent enrollment in BIOL 3161. (Same as CHEM 3361) (3-0) S
CHEM 3321 Physical Chemistry I (4 semester hours) Fundamental properties of macroscopic physical and chemical systems are introduced and described in quantitative terms. A core of topics in thermodynamics (first, second, third law; chemical and phase equilibria) and chemical kinetics is supplemented with topics germane to the wide variety of students taking physical chemistry. Prerequisites: CHEM 2325 and 2225, and MATH 2421, or consent of instructor. (4‑0) Y
CHEM 3472 Instrumental Analysis (4 semester hours) Basic processes, instrumentation and applications of ultraviolet, visible, fluorescence, atomic and mass spectroscopy, electrochemistry, surface and microanalysis, and separations. Emphasis will be placed upon acquisition, treatment, and interpretation of data and report writing. Prerequisite: CHEM 2401. (2‑6) Y
