Course credit is one-two credit hours per semester with no less than two or more than four granted for the entire year. Discussion will center on the molecular basis for drug action, structure-activity relationships, and methods of synthesis of the important classes of drug substances. 3 Is an extension of CHM 301 and will develop to a greater degree the topics of bio-organic chemistry, enzyme kinetics and mechanisms, intermediary metabolism and metabolic controls, and certain selected topics which are necessary for an understanding of modern biochemistry. 3 Studies selected topics in advanced physical chemistry with extensive use made of current literature in the field. Topics are chosen from quantum chemistry, statistical thermodynamics, catalysis, molecular spectra, and molecular structure.
Students perform analyses with all instruments.
A short discussion period precedes each laboratory exercise.
