Protein Structure and Function

Catalog description

Fundamentals of protein structure including structural motifs, domains, and folding, methods of protein structure determination, and structural bioinformatics. In-depth consideration of the structure-function relationship in representative proteins involved in important biological functions such as transport, enzyme catalysis, protein-nucleic acid interactions, signal transduction, immunity, and membrane channels and receptors. CHEM 450 is dual-listed with CHEM 550 . The courses will be taught together by the same instructor. Prerequisite(s): CHEM 341 or CHEM 351 with a minimum grade of C (2.0).
