CHEM 92 Inorganic Biochemistry

The role of metal ions in biological systems. Topics include metal ion transport, storage, and interaction with proteins and nucleic acids; metalloproteins involved in oxygen trans-port and electron transfer; metalloenzymes involved in activation of oxygen and other substrates; and medicinal, toxicity, and carcinogenicity aspects of metals; as well as inorganic model chemistry of bioinorganic systems. Several physical methods are introduced, and their application to current research on the above topics is considered.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
