Applied Chemistry for Biomaterials (I)

(Department)  Biomedical Engineering         (Division)      Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering
 
 (Level and Major) 
 

Course Title                Applied Chemistry for Biomaterials (I) 
 
Number of Credits       3             Prerequisite
 



Aims:
This course has been designed with a focus first on the general chemistry and then on the bio-analytical chemistry to address some of the most commonly used and important subjects that rely on the basic concepts of chemistry, by a biomedical engineer. In fact, this course will help the first or second-year students of the “biomaterials program” at the undergraduate level to better understand the more specialized courses later.

Syllabus:
Part 1: General Chemistry
  • Chemical calculations, SI units
  • Stoichiometry: chemical formulas, chemical equations
  • Atomic structure
  • Elements and periodic table
  • Chemical bonds
Part 2: Bio-analytical Chemistry
  • Errors in chemical analysis
  • Solutions and expressing concentration of solutions
  • Water and its importance in biological systems
  • Buffer solutions
  • Acid and base titration
  • Qualitative and quantitative analysis of materials
  • Biological molecules
  • Qualitative analysis of peptides and proteins
  • Chromatography
  • Electrophoresis
  • Mass spectrometry
  • Optical spectroscopy
  • Equilibrium in chemical and biochemical systems
  •  Kinetics of chemical and biochemical reactions
The kinetics of enzyme-catalyzed reactions
