CHEM 4323  -  The Organic Chemistry of Biological Pathways (3)

The Organic Chemistry of Biological Pathways is an advanced organic chemistry class for students that want a deeper understanding of the chemical reactions that take place in living organisms. Course content pays particular attention to arrow-pushing mechanisms of reactions found in common metabolism pathways. In the process, students are exposed to a variety of modern tools for studying reaction mechanisms (e.g., protein crystal structure analysis, kinetic isotope effects, site-directed mutagenesis). Finally, the course introduces students to primary peer-reviewed literature from scientific journals that supports mechanistic hypotheses discussed in the course.  Prerequisite(s): CHEM 3342  with a grade of C or better. Fall.
