课程简介
Organic chemistry deals with the structure, properties, and reactions of organic compounds and other materials that contain carbon and involves the study of chemical reactions. Chemistry faculty conduct scientific studies on the chemistry of DNA, proteins, and carbohydrates. Biophysical chemistry includes research involving both chemical and biological systems and their structures. Our faculty are involved specifically in research that covers biomolecular transport with an emphasis on diffusion, viscosity and electrophoresis, in the determination of structure, dynamics and function of biological macromolecules, the application and development of theoretical and computational methods in biological functions, simulations of key biological processes of relevance to DNA replication and repair, and the structure and interaction properties of nucleic acids. Faculty use a variety of techniques based in physical chemistry to understand and probe biological systems. Included among these techniques are spectroscopic methods such as nuclear magnetic resonance and x-ray diffraction. A solid cyber infrastructure for research computing thrives and includes high-performance computing, grid computing, data storage and visualization. With a growing body of academic and scientific researchers, including faculty and Ph.D. students, from many disciplines as well as from other universities, Georgia State continues to build a diverse and powerful supercomputing grid. The Chemistry Department has a robust history of leveraging computational methods to conduct research.
