Nutrition and health issues facing people today and the chemistry needed to understand them. Topics to be discussed include health efforts of toxic substances, the science of proper diet, and some of the biochemistry needed to understand diseases such as cancer and AIDS.

A continuation of CHM 163 with emphasis on molecular weight determination techniques, colligative properties, qualitative analysis, acid-base chemistry, properties of buffer solutions, chromatographic techniques, kinetics, solubility constant determination, and electrochemistry. Most experiments involve the identification of unknowns and statistical analysis of data. The experiments in CHM 164 parallel the topics covered in CHM 156. A written laboratory report summarizing the procedure and results for each experiment is required. Previously offered as CHM 166.

An introduction to the chemical properties of compounds of biological interest; bio-energetics and enzymology. A survey of the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids and other bio-substances.

A continuation of CHM 411. A comprehensive study including enzyme kinetics, bioenergetics, metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, proteins and nucleotides.

Students will integrate knowledge that they have gained throughout the major and the University Studies curriculum to perform a capstone research project. This will include a lecture component on presenting data in addition to the major laboratory research focus.
