Key Features

The world is full of questions. We turn to chemists for answers to many of them. Is this water safe to drink? Does this new vegetable hybrid contain the vitamins I need? Chemists work to remediate air pollution, create novel antibiotics, or design new solar cells. They study gold nanoparticles, crystal engineering, and organic superconductors. The world will always need people like you, and our program will prepare you to make a career out of solving problems and answering tough questions that have a real impact on our lives and environment.

In addition to your concentration in biochemistry, our Biochemistry at Loyola University New Orleans structure includes thorough course work in chemistry with supporting classes in mathematics, physics, and biology so you’re prepared for anything. Here’s a sample of what you can expect to learn and do:

General Chemistry Lecture + LabThis course covers the fundamental principles of general chemistry, including the development of modern atomic theory and its role in chemical bonding, structure and reactivity, an introduction to thermodynamics and kinetics, and development of equilibria concepts.
Organic Chemistry Lecture + LabStudents build a strong foundation in organic chemistry and combine knowledge with practical skills by synthesizing, purifying, and identifying organic compounds. Techniques include: acid/base extraction, recrystallization, distillation, organic reactions, IR spectroscopy, refractive index, melting point and NMR.
Biochemistry IThis course is a detailed study of the structure and function of the major classes of biological macromolecules. Topics include protein structure and folding, experimental methods used to characterize and manipulate proteins and DNA, allostery and other regulation, molecular disease, enzyme mechanism and inhibition, and membranes.
Biochemistry IIThis course examines metabolism and metabolic regulation, including vitamins and cofactors, glycolysis, TCA cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, glycogen metabolism, gluconeogenesis, photosynthesis, and the metabolism of fatty acids, lipids, amino acids, and nucleotides.
