ORGANIC ANALYSIS

CHEM 605

Determination of organic structures and reaction mechanisms using mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance techniques.

BIOCHEM/CHEM 704

Chemistry and biology of proteins, nucleic acids and carbohydrates; application of organic chemistry to problems in cell biology, biotechnology, and biomedicine.

MICROBIO 626

Provides an in-depth exploration of the use of mass spectrometry-based metabolomic approaches for the quantitative investigation of microbial and mammalian cellular metabolic processes. Using recent examples from primary literature, highlights the application of metabolomics, lipidomics, and metabolic flux analysis to diverse areas, including rational engineering of metabolic pathways, microbial biofuel production, discovery and characterization of new biochemical pathways, metabolic interactions within microbial communities, biochemical capabilities of the human gut microbiome, and mammalian cell metabolism.

CHEM 738

Introduction to the theory and practice of mass spectrometry. Topics include gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GCMS), electrospray ionization (ESI), matrix assisted laser-desorption ionization (MALDI), liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LCMS), imaging mass spectrometry, and ion mobility mass spectrometry.

CRB 630

Proteomics and metabolomics are playing an increasingly important role in biology and medicine. Many biology labs are now starting to use proteomics and metabolomics in their research projects. Includes the essential fundamentals and applications in mass spectrometry-based proteomics and metabolomics to address biological/medical problems. Design of proteomics/metabolomics experiments, troubleshooting, and proper interpretation of the results.
