CHE 4200 - PHYSICAL BIOCHEMISTRY
credits: 3.0
This course will use fundamental physical chemistry concepts to explain the behavior of biological systems. Students will develop an understanding of basic thermodynamic principles, kinetics, quantum mechanics and spectroscopy all within the context of biological phenomena. Students will also gain the experience of interpreting the results of modern biochemical analysis techniques from a fundamental perspective. Objectives: A) Use modern quantum theory to analyze biological systems; B) Use solution thermodynamics to analyze biological systems; C) Use process kinetics to analyze biological systems; D) Interpret the results of a modern chemical analysis of a biological system within the context of physical chemistry principles. Method of Instruction: Lecture, active group discussion and problem-solving in small groups as well as independently at the board. Method of Evaluation: Grading for this course will be based on homework (10%), quizzes (30%), exams (40%) and an independent project (20%).
Prerequisite(s): BIO 3042 - BIOCHEMISTRY I (or) CHE 3042 - BIOCHEMISTRY I
