CHEM 243-01 Modern Chemical Analysis w/Lab
Instructor: Brian Wladkowski, Christine O'Neill
Course Description:
The theory of chemical equilibrium as it pertains to acid-base, metal-ligand, redox, and EDTA titrations. Topics such as experimental design, sampling, calibration strategies, standardization, and the optimization and validation of experimental results will be covered. Statistical analysis of data will also be included. This class is meant to aid students in developing both a sound knowledge of experimental protocols (i.e. How many samples do we need to collect? How do we extract our analyte from the matrix? How much sample must be extracted in order to obtain a measurable result? How do we measure what's present? and in the critical evaluation of experimental results (How much confidence do we have that our results are representative of the system under study?). Three hours classroom and four hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: 132 or 141.

CHEM 331-01 Principles of Biochemistry
Instructor: Rebecca Connor
Course Description:
This course will explore the structure and function of fundamental organic biomolecules of life, including nucleotides, peptides, carbohydrates, and lipids; their biosynthesis and interactions in an aqueous solution; and enzyme kinetics and catalysis. Special attention will be dedicated to how dysregulation of these systems manifests itself in human disease. Students may not receive credit for both CHEM 331 and CHEM 342. This course does not have an associated lab. Prerequisite: CHEM 242. This course is cross-listed as BIOL 331.

CHEM 342-01 Structure and Function of Biomolecules w/Lab
Instructor: Rebecca Connor
Course Description:
Permission of Instructor Required. This course is an introductory biochemistry course focused on the chemistry of the major molecules that compose living matter. The structure and function of the major classes of biomolecules (nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates) are addressed along with other topics including bioenergetics, enzyme catalysis, and information transfer at the molecular level. The laboratory portion of the course focuses on methods used to study the properties and behavior of biological molecules and their functions in the cell. Three hours lecture and four hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite 242; an introductory biology course is highly recommended.

CHEM 490-02 Astrochemistry: Chemistry across the Universe
Instructor: Olivia Wilkins
Course Description:
Astrochemistry is the study of molecules in space, where physical conditions are quite different from those on Earth. In this course, we will explore chemistry laboratories on other planetary bodies, including a moon where it rains methane into hydrocarbon lakes, planets where it rains diamonds, and comets containing some of the most primitive material in the solar system. Then, we will venture into interstellar space to discuss the evolution of chemical complexity alongside star and planet formation, including how prebiotic chemistry is seeded in cold interstellar dust and gas. On our journey through space, we will practice using primary literature, basic proposal writing, and oral presentations.
