Chem 1850-Chemical Biology

This course will provide an introduction to recently developed chemical tools to understand complex biological systems. General objectives for this course include applying diverse areas of chemistry to unresolved questions in biology. Interactions and enzymatic properties of cellular pathways within the context of the cell will be discussed. the development and influence of chemical inhibitors and probes to specific biological targets will be an important area of emphasis. This course will prepare students for a future at the interface between chemistry and biology.

Chem 250-Analytical Chemistry

This course is concernces with the rigorous treatment of equilibria that are of analytical importance in all materials of our world. Also has an introduction to electroanalytical methods, emission and absorption spectroscopy, separations including chromatography.

Chem 1250-Instrumental Analysis

The basic principles and instrumentation of instrumental methods and their application to analysis and research problems. The coverage includes spectroscopic methods, electrochemical methods and chromatography. Equilibrium and dynamic aspects of each are considered. The approach to real analytical problems, from the biochemistry research lab to industry, is included.

Chem 2820-Biological Chemistry II

This course covers current research in chemical biology with a focus on enzyme mechanisms, kinetics, and chemical tools to study biology. Some other topics include DNA replication and repair, transcription, translation, macromolecular interactions, chemical signaling, posttranslational modifications, and chemical syntheses of biomolecules.
