2709 CHEM-102-01 Molecular Detectives 1.00 LEC Curran, Timothy TR: 9:25AM-10:40AM TBA Y NAT  
  Enrollment limited to 24 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  The world is made up of atoms and molecules. This course will center on how chemists determine the structure of organic compounds - molecules that contains carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, chlorine and bromine. The course will start by describing how these atoms can bond together. After this the course will focus on how various analytical methods (infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy) can be used to determine how the atoms are joined together to make a certain molecule. No prior knowledge of chemistry is required, but some laboratory work will be done.

  Enrollment limited to 29 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  Prerequisite: C- or better in Chemistry 212, Biology 183 and Math 131
  To maintain its life, a living organism depends on thousands of discrete chemical reactions to take place. In this lecture and laboratory course the nature of these chemical reactions will be surveyed and explored. Since nearly all of these reactions are catalyzed using organic and inorganic molecules, an emphasis will be placed on using mechanistic organic and inorganic chemistry to explain how this chemistry occurs. The course will begin with a survey of the bonding and structures of the major biochemical macromolecules: proteins, DNA, RNA, carbohydrates and lipids. It will then explore how living organisms use small molecules to synthesize these larger molecules, followed by how these larger molecules are recycled when they are no longer needed. The course will also explore the chemical events associated with photosynthesis and the electron transport chain. The laboratory part of the course will give students experience in protein isolation and purification, the measurement of enzyme kinetics using instrumental methods of analysis, and the characterization of human DNA using the polymerase chain reaction.
