Biological Pathways

Chemical Perspectives of Biological Pathways

How does nature make, transform, and manipulate biological molecules? This lecture course focuses on the fundamentals of chemical reactions in biological systems and the chemical logic behind them.

Reaction Mechanisms

Reaction Mechanisms in Organic Chemistry

This teaching course traces a reaction mechanism as a step-by-step sequence of elementary reactions by which overall chemical change occurs.

Structural Elucidation

Physical Methods of Structural Elucidation

This lecture course features concepts explaining chemical structure determination using NMR, mass spectrometry, and X-ray crystallography.
