Biomolecular Chemistry and Function

Catalog description

Description: The class is designed to use examples from classic and current literature to expand the student’s knowledge of the chemical techniques required to understand the structure and function of macromolecules in solution. These topics include chemical forces that stabilize macromolecular and supramolecular structure, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics of macromolecular and polymer folding, diffusional processes, kinetics, and the relationship of these principles to practical application in experimental design and interpretation. May not be used for degree credit with CHEM 5123 .
