Biomolecular Structure

A course for first and second year graduate students focusing on protein and nucleic acid structure and function. Topics include: physical basis for structures, tools used in structure determination such as x-ray crystallography, NMR, and circular dichroism as well as structure prediction, visualization and design. Prerequisites: One full year of undergraduate organic chemistry.

Adv Phys Chem

Introduction to quantum mechanics and its application to chemical problems; electronic structure of atoms and molecules, molecular orbital theory, chemical bonding, potential energy surfaces, and molecular spectroscopy. Prerequisite: CHEM 476 or equivalent .

Honors Research

An independent research project supervised by a professor chosen by student. Early in semester a thesis proposal is written, approved by a thesis committee and submitted to the Commonwealth College Office. About 3-4 hours of lab per week per credit. Continued as 499T subsequent semester. Prerequisites: faculty sponsor approval and 3.2 average.

Honors Thesis

Continuation of CHEM 499Y in which experimental part of course is completed, thesis is written, oral presentation of the work given to the Thesis Committee, and accepted thesis presented to the Commonwealth College Office. Prerequisite: CHEM 499Y.
