The structure and function of biological molecules, enzymology, metabolism and bioenergetics, and molecular biology.

The structure and function of biological molecules, enzymology, metabolism and bioenergetics, and recombinant DNA technology.

The structure and function of biological molecules, enzymology, metabolism and bioenergetics, and molecular biology. For honors students who have completed prerequisite introductory biology and chemistry coursework.

Seminars, readings, and discussions of topics related to biochemistry, biotechnology, and molecular biology. Scientific writing will be emphasized, and visits to laboratories may be scheduled.

Selected topics in biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, and biotechnology involved in modern medicine. Includes cloning, stem cells, endocrinology, human genetics, gene testing, and human population genetics. Bioethical issues will also be discussed. Both formal lectures and discussion sessions will be utilized and students will write short essays on selected topics.

A focus on the remarkable impact that genome sequencing projects is having on virtually all aspects of biochemistry, as well as on medicine and biotechnology. An introduction to a broad range of 'omic' topics, including functional genomics, microarrays, proteomics, physiological genomics, and bioinformatics.

Laboratory instruction in the methods for manipulation of plants, microbes, and animals for biotechnological purposes.

The most essential computing skills for modern biologists, such as MySQL, R, and AWK, as well as how to access and use High Performance Computer clusters and construct reusable data analysis workflows in RCC and the Galaxy system. Emphasis will be on hands-on work on computer work and problem solving.

A comprehensive treatment of biochemistry and molecular biology stressing structures of biological molecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids, enzymology and selected aspects of metabolism and bioenergetics.

A comprehensive treatment of biochemistry and molecular biology stressing aspects of metabolism, metabolic regulation, bioenergetics, and recombinant DNA methodologies.

Introduction to concepts in Biotechnology. Students will examine lab safety, quality systems, calculations, doubling time, protein analysis, downstream processing, design of experiments, protein expression, and protein purification. This lab class will include projects for student teams to work on as well as out-of-class assignments.
