This course continues CM-UY 2213 and emphasizes finding the principles of organic chemistry in industrial practice and biochemical mechanisms. It introduces instrumental methods of analysis and identification. | Prerequisite: CM-UY 2213. Co-requisite EX-UY 1

This course surveys modern biochemistry and emphasizes current areas of research. Also covered are structure-function relationships in proteins; enzymes and their mechanisms of action; bioenergetics principles and energy production; and biochemical theories and techniques. | Prerequisites: CM-UY 2213 or CM-UY 2214 or CM-UY 2234 or instructor’s permission.

This course is a continuation of Biochemistry I, focusing on cellular metabolism, including metabolism of proteins/amino acids, lipids and carbohydrates. We will also cover the basic principle of hormone regulation and biochemistry of nutrition. | Prerequisites: CM-UY 3314 or instructor's/advisor's permission

This course continues Biochemistry I. It covers principles of intermediary metabolism: energetic membrane structure and transport; structure and function of DNA and RNA; principles of molecular biology; the immune system; and hormonal regulation and cancer. | Prerequisite: CM-UY 3314 or instructor’s permission.

This course is aimed at familiarizing engineering students with basic principles of biochemistry with emphasis placed on the relationship between chemical structure and function of major classes of biomolecules in the living cell. The chemistry underlying a number of key cellular processes will be covered in some detail. Also, some industrial and/or biomedical applications of, for example, enzymes will be briefly discussed. | Prerequisite: CM-UY 2213 and CM-UY 2614 or instructor's/advisor's permission

This course provides a molecular approach to physical chemistry. The course covers quantum mechanics and its applications to atomic and molecular structure and to molecular spectroscopy. An introduction to statistical thermodynamics is also covered. | Prerequisites: (CM-UY 1003 or CM-UY 1023) and (MA-UY 1124 or MA-UY 1154) and PH-UY 1013.
