Physical organic chemistry, the thermodynamic and kinetic basis for organic reactions. Mechanisms of organic reactions and methods for studying them. 3 hours lecture (Prerequisite: CHE 211-212)

In-depth study of atomic and molecular structure related to metal and metalloid compounds. Review of acids and bases. Study of the structure and reactivity of the main group elements, transition metal, and organometallic complexes and compounds. Use of spectroscopic data in interpreting structure and reactivity of inorganic compounds. 3 hours lecture (Prerequisite: CHE 313)

An introductory course in drug discovery and drug design. Topics include: the drug discovery process, organic chemistry of drug synthesis (lead compounds and analogues), therapeutic areas elementary pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, recptor sites and drug targets, optimization of physio-chemical properties, and mechanisms of drug action in biochemical pathways. (Prerequisite: CHE 211) 3 hours lecture

The course is an advanced chemistry elective with an emphasis on classical quantitative chemical analysis applicable to topics important to chemistry and biology majors. Topics will include: sample preparation, equilibrium, statistics for analysis of data; methods will include, titration, gravimetric, volumetric, potentiometric and colorimetric analysis. (Pre-requisite: CHE 211) 2 hours laboratory, 1 hour lecture

Physical and chemical behavior of biomolecules, receptors/signaling mechanisms, and a consideration of metabolism. 3 hours lecture. (Prerequisite: CHE 211 with a grade of C or better; Pre-requisite or Co-requisite: CHE 212)

An examination of techniques used for understanding protein structure and function. Students will learn about methods for extracting and purifying proteins from cells as well as assays for elucidating protein structure and function including enzyme activity assays, various types of spectrophotometry, X-ray crystallography, NMR, and cryo-electron microscopy. 2 hours lecture, 2 hour lab. (Prerequisite or Corequisite: CHE 212

This course is a one semester laboratory course where the student works with a faculty member teaching either a CHE 1XX or CHE 2XX level course. The student will be exposed to safety, setup and mentoring the students during the laboratory hours under the direction of the laboratory instructor. In addition the student will serve as a tutor and mentor for those students enrolled in the laboratory course. They will not be involved in any grading of the enrolled students. It is open to any STEM or secondary education certification student. (Prerequisites: a grade of B or better in CHE 103/104 and CHE 211/212)
