RATIONALE FOR INTRODUCTION OF THIS COURSE
The Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry has a number of 400 level advanced
Protein Biochemistry courses. Included are courses on structure-function, biogenesis and
degradation, biomembranes, transport and special topics. While MBB222 offers a basic
introduction to protein biochemistry, what the MBB department has always lacked is a third year
foundation course on the fundamental aspects of proteins that can serve as the foundation for our
400 level more specialized protein biochemistry courses. This new course will fill that gap in our
current curriculum. Making MBB222 the pre-requisite for this
course allows chemistry majors to
include this course in their program.

STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES
Upon satisfactory completion of the course students will be able to:
Students will be able to explain the basic principles that underly protein biochemistry and apply these principles to experimental
and conceptual situations.
Students will be guided in the use of molecular graphics and physical models to help in the understanding of the basic structural
principles of proteins.
Students will be able to use these basic principles to recognize new instances where these concepts can be applied and predict
consequences (cause and effect).
Students will learn to assess primary literature of protein biochemistry.
Students will understand the different experimental approaches that have been developed to help understand sturctures and
mechanisms of protein biochemistry and be able to interpret experimental results.

RATIONALE FOR INTRODUCTION OF THIS COURSE
Provide details on how existing instructional resources will be redistributed to accommodate this new course. For example, will another course
be eliminated or will the frequency of offering of other courses be reduced; are there changes in pedagogical style or classsizes that allow for this
additional course offering?
Our current concentration in Ergonomics is being replaced by a certificate in Occupational
Ergonomics. The creation of this new course is tied to the deletion of BPK 380 and BPK 488.
Content relevant to Ergonomics and Rehabilitation from these deleted courses has been
refocused to align with the new certificate in Occupational Ergonomics.

DESCRIPTION
FROM:
The theme of this course is human physiology in environments of decreased atmospheric pressure, high
G-force,
and woightlessness. The course will deal with acute and chronic adaptations to these
environments as well as life support systems and "countermeasures" developed to expand the envelope
of human performance. Developments of breathing apparatus and G-suits for high performance aircraft
willbe examined as they relate to solving the physiological problems of exposure to
these environments.
Effects of short and extended periods of weightlessness on cardiovascular, cerebrovascular,
musculc-skeletal. neural, hormonal and vestibular systems will be explored.

DESCRIPTION
TO:
A laboratory based examination of human physiological systems during exposure to aerospace
related conditions of altered atmospheric content and G-forces. Developments of breathing
apparatus, pressurized flight suits and anti-G-suits for high performance aircraft willbe examined as
they relate to solving the physiological
problems of exposure to these environments. The effects of
weightlessness during spaceflight will also be explored through lecture, literature review and current
research data. An investigation of the biomedical monitoring of pilots and astronauts will be explored
as they relate to health and safety.

RATIONALE
Most of the material requires advance understanding of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems therefore BPK 305 is required. BPK 205 is sufficient for the
neural and hormonal
content covered in more depth in BPK 306. BPK 205 does not have to be listed as it is a prerequisite for BPK 305. Principles of laboratory
study
and writing will be covered in more detail in the course than in its previous offerings. Therefore BPK 407 no longer needs to be recommended. BPK 308 is
required for Biomedical Engineering majors, including this as a prerequisite willallow these students to take this course as an option.
