Fall,
2005
Chemistry 200A is the first of
a three-part sequence of Chemistry 200A, 200B and 200C.
Chemistry 200A focuses on the methodologies of biophysical
chemistry. Chemistry 200B focuses on protein structure and
function, and is offered in the Winter Quarter. It will be
taught by Prof. Tony Fink. Chemistry 200C focuses on nucleic acids
structure and function, and their complexes with proteins. It
will be taught by Prof. William Scott. Chemistry 200B and
200C will assume knowledge of the course material in 200A. It
is also necessary for Chemistry 200A to have an undergraduate-level
background in standard biochemistry, and a knowledge of physical
chemistry, including an elementary understanding of molecular
quantum mechanics, is assumed as a basis for discussing
spectroscopic techniques.
