Prerequisite: CHE 321.

Instrumental Analysis
A study of the theory of modern instrumental methods of chemical analysis. Topics include various spectroscopic techniques such as infrared, ultraviolet-visible, fluorescence, atomic absorption and emission, and nuclear magnetic resonance. Mass spectrometry, liquid and gas chromatography, and various evaluative mathematical techniques also are discussed. Three hours lecture, four hours laboratory per week.

Corequisite: CHE 321.

Inorganic Chemistry
Modern concepts of inorganic chemical structure and bonding are examined in detail. The application of the theories and inorganic structures are illustrated with examples from environmental, bioinorganic and industrial chemistry. Modern methods of synthesis and analysis of inorganic compounds are the focus of the laboratory. Three hours lecture, four hours laboratory per week.

Corequisite: CHE 322.

Biochemistry I
This course offers a fairly rigorous coverage of the organic chemistry of the major classes of biomolecules. Its aim is to introduce the relationships between chemical structure and biological function within living organisms, which provide a foundation for the understanding of intermediary metabolism. The course begins with a review of the structures of cells and organelles, the essentials of biomolecules, the properties of an aqueous environment, and introduces the central concepts of bioenergetics and thermodynamics. It then continues with a description of the structures and functions of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. In each case structure and composition of these molecules are related to their biological functions. Techniques used in the study of these biomolecules are introduced. Three hours lecture per week.

Prerequisite: CHE 208.

Biochemistry II (W)
The course begins by examining the dynamics of life by studying catalysis and the design of metabolic pathways. The latter portion of the course is concerned with the integrated network of chemical reactions involved in metabolism. It deals with the energetics of life, the reactions by which organisms degrade molecules to release the energy stored therein, how they use that energy to synthesize other molecules, and how organisms regulate the pathways by which molecules are degraded or synthesized. This portion is largely focused on the various pathways involved in carbohydrate metabolism. The laboratory introduces a variety of basic techniques commonly used in the isolation, purification, characterization and analysis of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and nucleic acids, the principle classes of biomolecules. Three hours lecture, four hours laboratory per week.

Prerequisite: CHE 325.

Advanced Organic Chemistry A problem solving workshop and discussion of papers from the organic chemical literature. Topics explored will include physical organic chemistry, mechanistic organic chemistry, and molecular orbital theory. The laboratory portion of the course will include synthesis, NMR techniques, and molecular modeling. Three hours lecture, four hours laboratory per week.

Prerequisite: CHE 322.

Environmental Chemistry An advanced treatment of the chemistry of the environment. Topics include aspects of aquatic chemistry, atmospheric chemistry, biocycles and soils and minerals, and the effects of both organic and inorganic chemicals in the environment. The laboratory will involve field work in a project-oriented approach dealing with selected local environmental problems. Field trips to significant chemical processing facilities will be taken. Three hours lecture, four hours laboratory per week.

Prerequisite: CHE 321, 323; Corequisite: CHE 322.
