Modern techniques in biological chemistry including protein purification, characterization of enzyme kinetics, heterologous expression of His-tagged fluorescent proteins, site-directed mutagenesis, and a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) module. Prerequisite: CHEM 131 and CHEM 181.

Primary literature based seminar/discussion course covering classical and contemporary papers in biophysical chemistry. Topics include (among others): protein structure and stability, folding, single molecule fluorescence and force microscopy, simulations, ion channels, GPCRs, and ribosome structure/function. Course is restricted to undergraduates and is the required capstone for majors on the Biological Chemistry track, but open to students from the regular track. Prerequisites: CHEM 181; CHEM 171.

By special arrangement with a faculty member. May be repeated 8 times for a max of 27 units. Prerequisite: CHEM 121 or CHEM 131. Corequisite: CHEM 300.

Qualified graduate students undertake research or advanced lab work not covered by listed courses under the direction of a member of the teaching staff.

Learn how basic concepts in inorganic chemistry can be applied to materials of all dimensionalities. Specific topics will include: symmetry (group theory), bonding models (crystal field theory, valence bond theory, molecular orbital theory, and the Bloch theorem) and electronic structure, and properties/reactivity of molecules and extended solids. Prerequisites: CHEM 151 and either CHEM 173 or CHEM 171 for students who took CHEM 171 in Spring 2021 or later.

Quantum mechanics with examples related to spectroscopy. Includes time dependent perturbation theory, matrix formalism, density matrix formalism and angular momentum. Required: CHEM 271 or equivalent quantum mechanics course.

From the underlying quantum mechanics to isotopic labeling strategies and pulse sequence design, students will develop a strong foundation in understanding magnetic resonance and manipulating spins to detect and discover chemistry - the atomic-level structure and dynamics - in diverse biological systems, synthetic polymers, and other organic and inorganic materials and glasses. We will cover the following foundational material: quantum and classical descriptions of NMR; analysis of pulse sequences and spin coherences via density matrices and the product operator formalism; NMR spectrometer design; Fourier analysis of time-dependent observable magnetization; relaxation; solid-state NMR; NMR problem-solving strategies and examples. Student presentations of NMR applications/topics in the second half of the quarter. The course assumes completion of an undergraduate-level course in quantum mechanics.
