and membrane chemistry. Prerequisites: Chem 202 and 303 (or by
permission of the instructor), and Biol 104 or the equivalent. Bioc 405 is
prerequisite for Bioc 406.
415, 416 Biochemistry Lab I, II (2 credits) Laboratory experiments in
isolation and purification of enzymes/proteins, enzyme kinetics, and the
identification and properties of nucleic acids, carbohydrates and lipids.
Techniques include spectrophotometry, centrifugation, dialysis, PCR,
various forms of chromatography and electrophoresis. Corequisites: Bioc
405, 406.
491 Senior Thesis Research (1 credit) (1-semester course) A
semester-long research project. The student must develop an original
research idea into an oral and written research proposal to be approved by
the chemistry department.
492 Senior Research II (4 credits) (5 seven-hour labs weekly, January
Term) A full-time research course. Each student shall work full time on a
laboratory research project at the senior level, developed in collaboration
with a member of the chemistry faculty, or a person approved by the
chemistry faculty, at some off-campus research agency.
493 Senior Research III (1 credit) (1-semester course) A semesterlong
research project. The student must interpret data collected, collect
additional data, if needed, and report the findings of the research orally in
an open forum and as a written thesis.
