One major goal of this course is to offer undergraduate students an opportunity to perform authentic scientific research in the laboratory course. This collaborative course sequence engages the students in learning approaches towards antibiotic discovery in order to address the world’s current antibiotic crisis. Students start out in the biology course by isolating bacterial strains that display antibiotic activity. This biology course is followed up with the organic chemistry lab course that affords the students the opportunity to develop strategies for antibiotic isolation and purification using chemical separation techniques, and to characterize these unknown antibiotics through spectroscopic techniques commonly used in organic chemistry. Students are encouraged to take the biology Small World course (BIOSC 0067) prior to this CURE Organic Chemistry Lab course. However, the Small World course is not required for the students to enroll in this course.

PeopleSoft Description: Chemical engineers have made significant contributions towards the development of pharmaceutical research and manufacturing, and there are now also growing opportunities in field of biotechnology. In this course students broadly examine the nomenclature, functions and mechanisms utilized by DNA, RNA and proteins and learn foundation knowledge in order to contribute to these fields. This includes examination of enzyme mechanisms of therapeutic targets and how pathways of enzymes can produce natural products, such as terpenes and polyketides, that are common antibiotic and antifungal agents. Specialized topics will also be considered such as the engineering of proteins with new catalytic functions and metabolic engineering to produce therapeutics and commodity chemicals. Students also learn about the molecular mechanisms involved in the cellular processes of replication, transcription and translation. These topics include recombinant DNA technology and new therapeutic strategies that have emerged in manufacturing such as antisense oligonucleotide technology.

Aspects of the Chinese language will offer a linguistic introduction to Chinese. No prior knowledge of linguistics is assumed although familiarity with linguistic analysis is a plus.
