Course Descriptions [top]

Chemistry
Symbol: CHE unless otherwise shown. CRL indicates laboratory.

544 Topics in Physical Chemistry (3) Topics of current interest in physical chemistry. Topic announced prior to registration. This course may be taken again for credit.

CRL 572 Experimental Biochemistry II (2) A second-semester laboratory course in biochemistry that stresses the use of advanced analytical instruments to characterize biologically important molecules and to eludicate their mechanism of action.

576 Biochemistry I (3) A two-semester course in biochemistry. The first part shows how the chemistry of amino acids, proteins, enzymes, carbohydrates, lipids, and membranes enables living organisms to perform biological functions. PREREQ: CHE 232 and physical chemistry.

577 Biochemistry II (3) The second part of biochemistry covers the biosynthesis of diverse molecules, DNA structure and function, and molecular physiology, including immunoglobulins, hormones, nutrition, and nerve action. Chemistry will be related to normal and pathological biological functions. PREREQ: CHE 576.

583 Clinical Chemistry Seminar (2) A course emphasizing the recent literature in clinical chemistry. Student lecture presentations and round table discussions are used. PREREQ: CHE 581.
