The Materials Chemistry Colloquium is a seminar/discussion-based course with weekly presentations focuses on chemical approaches to solving current problems in materials science.
Important synthetic reactions, with emphasis on problems which may arise during organic synthesis. Develops students' ability to propose own syntheses of complex molecules.
Chemical, physical, and biological properties of proteins and nucleic acids. Macromolecular structure of biopolymers; optical, hydrodynamic, and magnetic resonance techniques; multiple equilibria; relaxation kinetics, and conformational transitions.
