Proteins:Structure Function

1 Credit · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

Proteins are responsible for doing the work of the cell and regulating many cellular processes. Here we will focus on a few major groups of proteins as well as key methods used to study proteins. The foci will be on (1) disordered proteins and their roles in gene regulation; (2) kinases and their roles to regulate the activity of other “downstream” proteins; (3) channel proteins that move ions, water, and nutrients; and (4) proteins that behave as molecular motors.
