Advanced Seminar in Structural Biology of Chromatin

3 Credits.

Focus is on structural and physical aspects of DNA processes in cells, such as nucleosomal packaging, DNA helicases, RNA polymerase, and CRISPR. Topics are meant to illustrate how the structural and chemical aspects of how proteins and nucleic acids are studied to understand current biological questions. Recommended Course Background: Biochemistry I ( AS.250.315 ) and Biochemistry II ( AS.250.316 ) or Biochemistry ( AS.020.305 ) and Intro to Biophys Chem ( AS.250.372 )
