Chem 330	Introductory Biochemistry  Introduces the structure and metabolism of proteins, amino acids, carbohydrates, lipids and nucleic acids. We cover enzymes, hormones, nutrition and regulation. You need organic chem. (226 or 221 and 322) to take this course.
Chem 332	Biochemistry II The second semester of the two semester chemistry major's biochemistry sequence. This course covers microbial genetics, and nucleic acid and protein structure and function. We study DNA replication, its transcription into RNA and translation into protein. The genetic code and the regulation of gene expression are also covered.  You need credit for Biochem I, CHEM 331, to take it.
Chem 333	Macromolecular Biochemistry A molecular biology/genetics course covering microbial genetics, and nucleic acid and protein structure and function. We study DNA replication, its transcription into RNA and translation into protein. The genetic code and the regulation of gene expression are also covered. You need an organic chem (226 or 322) to take it. Microbiology and Genetics help.
Chem 100	Chemistry for Everyday Life This is a chemistry appreciation course for non-science majors. It emphasizes the structure and reactions of household and consumer products. No prerequisites, but you have to attend and pass the lab to pass the course.
Chem 102	Introductory General Chemistry This is a preparatory survey of chemical sciences for those needing the basics. Credit cannot be applied toward a science requirement in any science major in liberal arts or secondary education. It may not be challenged be students with high school credit in chemistry. A team approach to class and laboratory is used.
Chem 111-112	General Chemistry I, Laboratory This is designed to accompany the lectures in Chem 111. You will prepare some compounds and analyze them quantitatively. The first experiments build basic skills needed later to analyze complex compounds, commercial products and foods. Click on this link for the information, procedures and report forms you will need. The UofW site can help with techniques you need to learn.
