CHEM 453 - Biomolecular Structure and Function (3 credits)

(Prereq: CHEM 332 and MATH 160) (Coreq: CHEM 453L and PHYS 205 or PHYS 211) This course explores the correlation between biomolecular structure and function through molecular modeling, structural biology and biophysical techniques. Topics include protein structure, nucleic acid structure, folding and dynamics, molecular recognition, catalysis, allostery, comparative modeling, molecular dynamics simulations, structure determination with experimental data, and analysis of molecular motions.
