Skip to main content. Main Menu Utility Menu Search. Chemical Physics Our interdepartmental Chemical Physics program is designed for students who wish to prepare themselves for the study of chemical problems by the methods and theories of modern physics.
Prospective students Prospective Students. Includes considerations of molecular structure and reactivity, synthetic methods, spectroscopic tools, and stereochemistry. The topics emphasized will vary from year to year. This is the first quarter of the advanced organic chemistry sequence. This course discusses planning economic routes for the synthesis of complex organic molecules.
The uses of specific reagents and protecting groups will be outlined as well as the control of stereochemistry during a synthesis. Examples will be selected from the recent literature. May not be offered every year. Prerequisites: Chem or or consent of instructor. Introduction to the measurement and theoretical correlation of the physical properties of organic molecules. This course will provide a solid basis for chemical synthesis, physical properties, and formulation of polymers and other synthetic materials for biomedical applications.
The concepts conveyed will prepare students interested in drug and gene delivery, biomedical imaging, and clinical translation of synthetic materials. This course, focusing on advanced methods for stereoselective and asymmetric synthesis, will be offered in the second semester to students who have successfully completed the first semester chemistry curriculum.
Particular emphasis will be placed on contemporary methods for molecular catalysis and new avenues in synthesis made available by them. Topics will include transition metal-catalyzed transformations, asymmetric catalysis, kinetic analysis of catalytic reactions, and organometallic reaction mechanisms.
This course focuses on the roles of enzyme activity in human disease. Students will learn enzyme theory, quantitative methods to analyze enzyme activity, and mechanisms of enzyme inhibition. Students will study the effects of enzyme mutations on metabolism and how changes in enzyme activity cause or contribute to human diseases.
Factors affecting the ability of small molecules to modulate enzyme activity in cells and living organisms will be discussed. Examples will be drawn from research programs on campus and from the recent literature in the field.
Course grades will be determined based on class participation, journal article discussion and assignments, performance on quizzes, and a final presentation. Connect Facebook.
