Advanced Biochemistry

3 Credits · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

The goal of this course is to gain an understanding of fundamental aspects of biochemical structure and function from a chemistry viewpoint. Students will learn how biomolecules (proteins, nucleic acids) interact with each other, and how researchers can quantitatively assess these interactions. Students will learn the fundamental chemical reactions that govern key biochemical processes. Students will learn concepts of fluorescent molecules and fluorescence measurements in biochemistry. Intended for beginning graduate students.
