9 courses with the subject BCH, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
BCH 301Introduction to Biochemistry3
Structure and function of biological molecules. Topics include proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, lipids,enzyme kinetics, ligand binding, recombinant DNA technology and cell membrane structure and transport.Three lectures and one recitation per week.
Selected experiments demonstrating principles of comparative proteomics, Beer's Law, electrophoresis, immunodetection, and DNA fingerprinting. One four-hour lab per week.
The more biological aspects of biochemistry. Topics include signal transduction, bioenergetics, metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and metabolic control,emphasizing hormones. Three lectures and one recitation per week.
Biochemical processes at the cellular and molecular level. Topics include DNA structure in chromosomes, replication, repair, and recombination, DNA transcription, RNA structure and function, protein translation and regulation of these processes.
This course provides students with an opportunity to engage in research activities in the laboratories of Canisius chemistry or biochemistry faculty. Students will be introduced to the research process by becoming active participants carrying out experiments designed by their faculty mentor. Through hands-on use of research-quality equipment, students will develop skills and techniques important to carry out research.
Independent research under the direction of the biochemistry faculty. Students are required to spend 9 hours per week conducting research. BCH 450 may be taken in place of a biochemistry elective without lab. Research and consultation times to be arranged after approval of department chair.
Independent research under the direction of the biochemistry faculty. Students are required to spend 12 hours per week conducting research. BCH 451 may be taken in place of a biochemistry elective with lab. Research and consultation times to be arranged after approval of department chair.
