CHEM 341 DRUG DISCOVERYAND DEVELOPMENT (3)Three hours lecture per weekHow are drugs discovered? Whatdetermines the price for a drug? Whatis the difference between a generic andnon-generic drug? These questions willbe examined with an interdisciplinaryapproach. Topics include the isolationof compounds from natural sources, thescreening of compounds for biologicalactivity, structure-activity relationships ofdrugs, computer-assisted drug design,combinatorial chemistry, bioinformatics,the FDA approval process for newdrugs, and the economic and businessaspects of pharmaceutical investment anddevelopment.Same as ECON 341, BUS 341GenEd: B1, D, InterdisciplinaryCHEM 343 FORENSIC SCIENCE (3)Two hours lecture and three hourslaboratory per weekA survey of the various chemical andbiological techniques used in obtainingand evaluating criminal evidence.Topics include: chromatography;mass spectrometry (LC-MS, GC-MS);atomic absorption spectrometry; IR, UV,fluorescence, and X-ray spectroscopies;fiber comparisons; drug analysis; arson/explosive residue analysis; toxicologicalstudies; blood typing; DNA analysis;population genetics; firearm identification;and fingerprint analysis.GenEd: B1, InterdisciplinaryCHEM 344 ENERGY AND SOCIETY (3)Three hours lecture per weekSurvey of the physical, chemical, andengineering principles involved in theproduction of energy from current andpotential sources and the economical,environmental, and political issuessurrounding energy production.
