Carbohydrates, lipids, enzymes, coenzymes, and nucleic acids are discussed together with the important metabolic pathways. Also purification and characterization of DNA will be investigated along with chromatography, electrophoresis and spectrophotometric techniques. CHEM 2222K Students carry out detailed examinations of covalent and ionic inorganic substances, Lewis acid-base concepts, thermodynamic aspects, coordination chemistry, chemistry of metals and nonmetals and inorganic aspects of aqueous and nonaqueous solvents. Students apply their knowledge in analyzing and evaluating chemical changes occurring in their surroundings. CHEM 2222K Students search the research literature to investigate new developments in organic chemistry.
Students explore spectroscopy methods of identification and characterization of chemical species.
Students explore statistics, sampling, chemical equilibrium titrimetric procedures, spectroscopy separations and electrochemistry and are introduced to modern analytical instrumentation. Students write reports using statistical analysis in evaluating procedures. CHEM 3341K Students learn and apply instrumental methods of analysis to solve analytical chemistry problems. K Students research current special topics in various areas of chemistry. The professors, visiting lecturers, and the students participate in a weekly series of lectures.
