CHEM 453 - Biomolecular Structure and Function (3 credits)

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