Classroom Teaching:
Biological Sciences 110a: Introduction to Biological Sciences. This is the entry-level
course in the biological sciences for students who major in Molecular Biology,
Biology, or Neuroscience in the College of Arts and Science, or in Biomedical
Engineering in the School of Engineering. It also serves as the recommended
introductory course in the biological sciences for all premedical students at
Vanderbilt. The teaching laboratory for this course, which combines the features of a
modern wet teaching laboratory and a state-of-the-art computer classroom was
designed as part of the proposal to the 1992 competition of the HHMI
Undergraduate Biological Sciences Education Program and was equipped in large
part with funds from the resulting grant. Introduced in the Spring 1994 semester, the
course underwent its first revision in 1997. For three academic years, 1996-1997
through 1998-1999, I co-taught with Professor William Eickmeier one of the
Biological Sciences 110a lecture sections (enrollment ca. 200).
Biological Sciences 274/Molecular Biology 277: Protein Design. This course, introduced
in the Fall 1996 semester for advanced undergraduates and graduate students, was
developed by Professor Andrzej Krezel and myself. Taught entirely in the new
Stevenson Center Computer Classroom, a facility equipped with funds from our
1994 grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Undergraduate Biological
Sciences Education Program, the course covered three-dimensional structure of
proteins and the principles and practice of protein engineering. In the Fall 2001
semester, it had an enrollment of twenty.
Molecular Biology 275b: Undergraduate Seminar: Receptors. This was a seminar course
for advanced majors (primarily seniors) in Molecular Biology. Restricted to an
enrollment of twelve, this course provided students an opportunity to work closely
with a faculty member in making the transition from textbooks to the primary
literature. Topics varied In Spring 1996, I gave a new seminar on receptors and
intracellular signaling.
Molecular Biology 280: Fundamentals of Biochemistry. This was a four semester-hour
upper level undergraduate course in general biochemistry that was also open to
graduate students who had not had an entry-level course in this area, with a total
enrollment of approximately 100 students. The course consisted of three hours of
lecture and a one hour discussion session (with the class split into three sections)
each week. I completely rewrote this course and taught it in the Fall 1992, Fall 1993,
and Fall 1994 semesters, after which it was replaced by a new, two-course sequence.

Curriculum Vitae Revised: May 17, 2012
Classroom Teaching (continued):
Molecular Biology 344: Focal Topics in Molecular Biology. This was a three semester-
hour course consisting of four modules, each taught by a different member of the
Molecular Biology faculty. It served as a core course for the Molecular Biology
graduate program. I taught a new module on tyrosine kinase receptors and
intracellular signaling in the Spring 1996 semester.
Biological Sciences 349/Molecular Biology 349/Biochemistry 349: Graduate Seminar in
Molecular Biophysics. This is a course that I organized (1989-1995; 2001-2002) as
part of the core curriculum of our Molecular Biophysics Training Program, consisting
of lectures, discussions, and student presentations on a selected topic in Molecular
Biophysics.
Interdisciplinary Graduate Program 300a: Bioregulation. This is the core introductory
course for all students in the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program at Vanderbilt. In
the Fall 1995 and Fall 1996 semesters, I taught the module on protein structure and
enzymology (14 hours in Fall 1996).
Biochemistry 321/5010: Biochemistry. This was a lecture course taken by entering
medical students and by entering graduate students in the biomedical sciences.
(Total enrollment ca. 100.) Its format included six hours of lecture each week, plus
optional help sessions. From 1983 through 1991, I gave approximately one quarter
of the lectures which made up this course. During the latter part of that period, my
lectures covered amino acid, peptide and protein chemistry; primary, secondary,
tertiary, and quaternary structure of proteins; allostery; and enzyme kinetics and
mechanisms.
Biochemistry 331/5241: Membrane Biochemistry. This course used to form part of the
core curriculum for the Ph.D. in Biochemistry until the 1987-1988 academic year,
when, due to a major course reorganization, this course was discontinued with much
of the subject matter being added to the basic lecture course and other material being
distributed into two new graduate courses. It was a popular elective for graduate
students in other Ph.D. programs in the biomedical sciences, and was a medical
elective, usually taken by first and second year, though occasionally by fourth year
medical students. (Total enrollment averaged ca. 15.) I organized this course from
the 1981-1982 academic year until it was discontinued. In its later years, I gave
lectures on the development of current concepts of membrane structure, membrane
fluidity, lipid and protein mobility, asymmetrical distribution of lipids,

Classroom Teaching (continued):
and the structure and biosynthesis of membrane proteins, all of which constituted
approximately 40% of the course.
Biochemistry 334/5310: Chemical Mechanisms of Enzyme Catalysis. This course used to
form part of the core curriculum for the Ph.D. in Biochemistry and was an elective
for medical students and other graduate students. (Total enrollment ca. 10.) I played
a minor role in this course through 1991-1992, giving lectures on protein cross-linking
and photoaffinity labeling.
Other Courses: In addition to the above assignments, I have guest lectured in other
courses in the Departments of Biochemistry, Chemistry, Pharmacology, and
Molecular Physiology and Biophysics at Vanderbilt, and the in the Graduate
Program in Biochemistry and Structural Biology at Stony Brook. I also organized
and lectured in workshops (1990, 1991) or lecture series (1992-1995) on the
Responsible Conduct of Research at Vanderbilt, until organization of the series was
assumed by the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in 1995-1996, and I lectured
annually in the corresponding program at Stony Brook.
