Basic and advanced molecular modeling: empirical molecular orbital theory; molecular mechanics and dynamics; quantitative structure-activity relationships [e.g. how to quantify physical properties in terms of the general concepts of electronic, steric and hydrophobic effects, Hansch analysis (biological activity of a series of compounds and their physiochemical substituent or global parameters)]; basic ab initio quantum chemistry. Lect: 3 hrs. Prerequisites: CHY 142 and CHY 242 and CPS 313 and CPS 315 Course Weight: 1.00 Billing Units: 1
