Introduction to Biochemistry |
| AGR 101 |
Students are introduced to the College of Agriculture and Purdue University. Specific areas discussed include the diversity of career opportunities within agriculture, the relationships between different areas of agriculture, ethics, the impact of undergraduate coursework, including the core curriculum, on scholarship and career preparation, and the challenges facing the food, agricultural, and natural resource system. The use of guest lecturers provides a networking opportunity for students. Course meets weeks 1-8. |

General Biochemistry I Protein structure and function, introduction to nucleic acids and molecular biology, properties of enzymes, mechanism of enzyme action, basic concepts of metabolism, sugar and fatty acid metabolism, introduction to membranes and hormone action. |
| BCHM 562 |
General Biochemistry II Amino acid metabolism, photosynthesis, biosynthesis of membrane lipids and steroids, biosynthesis of nucleotides, structure and function of nucleic acids, protein synthesis, and control of gene expression. |
| BCHM 572 |
Advanced Biochemical Techniques Modern techniques for the isolation, purification, and characterization of biological macromolecules. Advanced techniques of protein and nucleic acid chemistry. Emphasis will be placed on recombinant DNA technology, including the isolation, cloning, and characterization of genes. Specific projects will be designed to meet individual student interests. |
| BCHM 659 |
Structure, Function of Proteins A critical treatment of structure-function relationships of proteins. Protein purification, amino acid sequence analysis, chemical modifications of proteins, protein folding, active sites, and protein-protein interactions will be discussed. The ways in which the chemical properties of the individual amino acid side chains influence the structures, chemical properties, and enzymatic reactivities of proteins will be emphasized throughout the course |
| BCHM 660 |
Structure, Function of Nucleic Acids. A critical treatment of structure-function relationships of nucleic acids. |
| BCHM 663 |
Membranes--Structure, Function, Control A critical introduction to structure and function of biological membranes. Topics include mobilities of membrane constituents, properties of membrane proteins, mechanisms of membrane transport, membrane synthesis and flow, secretion, receptors, and signal transduction. |
| BCHM 690 |
Seminar in Biochemistry Students discuss papers from the recent literature. The purpose is both the dissemination of knowledge and learning to organize and present talks. |
| BCHM 695 |
Protein Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics Topics will include mass spectrometric instrumentation, protein and peptide separation methods, methods for selective enrichment of modified proteins and peptides, identification of proteins and post-translational modifications, and quantification of proteins and modifications. |
