Three hours of lecture and three hours of lab per week. A course that emphasizes principles and analysis of chemical movement and distribution in natural environments. One year of general chemistry. Offered spring semester of even years. This lab provides experiences in sampling and analysis of water, soil, and air.
Experimental work is conducted in both natural habitats and the lab.
One year of general chemistry. Offered spring semester of odd years. The lab uses a case study approach in which an enzyme is isolated and characterized in detail. The molecular genetics, structure, regulation, and kinetics of the enzyme are studied using a wide range of techniques. This course is designed for chemistry and biology majors with a background in organic chemistry.
