Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Undergraduate Courses
1990 - Freshman Research in Biochemistry Syllabus
1-2 credits, max 2. An introduction to biochemical research through guided work on a relevant experimental problem.
2101 - The Experiments Behind the Facts of Real Science Syllabus
Lab 3. Prerequisite(s): CHEM 1225. A descriptive survey of organic functional groups and biomolecules. Mode of formation and function of these molecules in microorganisms, plants and animals as they relate to biotechnology, environmental sciences and health related issues. A terminal course for students in applied biological science education. Not recommended for preprofessional students or students planning graduate study in biological sciences.
2200 - Medicine and Molecules
Dr. Benjamin Sandler (Spring Semester)
This course will examine a specific disease at all scales, from the biology of the causal agent to global impacts. Topics covered will include the molecular biology of the agent, interactions with the human body and the etiology, epidemiology, history and current state of the disease, ethical considerations, and prospects for cures.

A terminal course for students in applied biological science education. Not recommended for preprofessional students or students planning graduate study in biological sciences.
3653 - Survey of Biochemistry Syllabus
Prerequisite(s): CHEM 3015 or 3053. An introduction to the chemistry of living systems. Chemical properties of the constituents of living organisms. Modes of formation, reactions and function of these compounds in microorganisms, plants and animals.
3713 - Biochemistry I Syllabus
Dr. Benjamin Sandler (Fall Semester)
Prerequisite(s): CHEM 3153. Biochemistry of nucleic acids, proteins, amino acids, carbohydrates, and lipids with an emphasis on the kinetics, thermodynamics, catalytic and regulatory strategies of biochemical reactions and bioenergetics. Designed for biochemistry majors and others desiring part one of a two semester comprehensive biochemistry series.
3723 - Biochemical Laboratory Syllabus Learning Outcomes
Lab 6. Prerequisite(s): 3653 or concurrent enrollment. Qualitative and quantitative examination of biochemical and molecular biology materials and reactions. Hands-on experience with contemporary aspects of biochemical and molecular biology techniques. Designed for biochemistry majors and others desiring an extensive biochemical laboratory experience.
3813 - Biochemistry II
Dr. Patricia Ayoubi (Spring Semester)
Prerequisite(s): BIOC 3713. Continuation of Biochemistry I with focus on metabolic pathways, cycles, and control mechanisms. This course will cover bioenergetics and metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids and nucleotides.

Prerequisite(s): 3653 and BIOL 3023 (or ANSI 3423 or PLNT 3554). An extension and expansion of 3653 emphasizing applications of biochemistry, molecular biology and genetic engineering to studies on protein structure and function, regulation of cell function, metabolism and disease processes.
4224 - Physical Chemistry for Biologists (Spring Semester) Syllabus
Prerequisite(s): CHEM 1515, MATH 2133, PHYS 1214 or consent of instructor. Classical and statistical thermodynamics with applications to pure systems, solutions and electrochemistry; transport; chemical and enzyme kinetics, quantum chemistry of structure and chemical bond; and spectroscopy all with emphasis on biological applications.
4883 - Senior Seminar Biochemistry
Dr. Patricia Ayoubi ( Spring Semester)
Prerequisite(s): BIOC 3813 or consent of instructor and senior standing. A senior capstone course for the development of scientific verbal and written communications and assessment of cumulative abilities. Focus is on problem solving, group discussion, primary literature review, oral presentation, and writing.
4990 - Biochemistry Teaching Internship Syllabus
Learn how to teach a university course while enhancing your scientific communication skills, by serving as a teaching intern for BIOC 3653 - Survey of Biochemistry.
This course will examine the AIDS epidemic at all scales, from the HIV virus to the global epidemic. Topic covered will include the molecular biology of HIV, its interactions with the immune system and the etiology of AIDS, the epidemiology of AIDS, the history and current state of the epidemic, the technology behind AIDS testing, and the prospects for an AIDS vaccine. AIDS is both a scientific subject and a political one, and students will explore how the tensions between these two aspects play out in the public "marketplace of ideas" that is Wikipedia.
4990 - Special Problems
1-6 credits, max 10. Training in independent work, study of relevant literature and experimental investigation of an assigned problem.
