CHEM 416 Advanced Biological and Bioanalytical Chemistry Units: 3.00
An advanced discussion of the chemical basis of biologically relevant molecules, pathways and methods of their characterization. Topics covered will draw from advanced properties, characterization and application of DNA/RNA, proteins/peptides, lipids, carbohydrates, alkaloids, terpenes and polyketides and bioanalytical/molecular biology techniques.
Learning Hours: 120 (33 Lecture, 3 Seminar, 12 Online Activity, 72 Private Study)
Offering Faculty: Faculty of Arts and Science
Course Learning Outcomes:
- Propose reasonable chemical mechanistic hypotheses for production of biomolecules.
- Evaluate and articulate appropriate chemical analytical and bioanalytical techniques for investigating biomolecule structure, function and application.
- Develop an appreciation of how chemistry can be applied to study biomolecules, and how biomolecules can be synthesized or produced using molecular biology tools.
- Apply their understanding of biomolecule synthesis and production, and chemical/bioanalytical techniques, to new topic areas within biological chemistry, assessment of the new topic will include an analysis of the contribution of indigenous knowledge and the impact of colonial science.
