Teaching Responsibilities

CHEM 431 Biochemistry I - Undergraduate survey of the structure and function of macromolecules (Proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids), buffer systems, enzyme mechanisms and kinetics. (MWF 10:00 am-10:50 am, laboratory M 1 pm-4 pm, 4 credit hours).

CHEM 313 Clinical Instrumentation - Undergraduate survey of the basic physics and chemistry of clinical laboratory instruments. Offered primarily for medical technology majors, this course will include field trips to local hospitals and clinical diagnostic instrumentation manufacturers. (T Th 9:25 am-10:40 am, 2 credit hours-no laboratory)

CHEM 610 Special Topics in Biochemistry - Graduate-level course offered only once every two years (even number years). Subject matter varies. The Fall 2002 course will focus on the structure, function, and laboratory methods for the investigation of nucleic acids. Structure of nucleic acids, gene organization and expression will be discussed. (T 5:15 pm-8:30 pm, 3 credit hours-no laboratory)

CHEM 265/275 Biochemistry - Biochemistry course designed for non-majors. Structure and function of macromolecules, DNA replication, RNA transcription and post-transcriptional modifications, protein synthesis, enzyme kinetics, and basic metabolism will be discussed. (T, Th 12:15 pm-1:30 pm, 3 credit hours-no laboratory)

CHEM 432 Biochemistry I - Undergraduate course, detailed examination of primarily human metabolic pathways, bioenergetics, enzyme mechanisms, energy production and storage (MWF 10:00 am-10:50 am, laboratory F 1 pm-4 pm, 4 credit hours).
