Undergraduate

will review the history of protein research and the general properties of proteins and include other topics such as strategy and methods for purification, chemical structure, properties, modification and determination of the protein amino acids, sequencing strategy, chain cleavage methods and end group analysis; folding of the protein main chain and techniques to determine structure; and the relationship between structure and function: protein filaments, motors and regulators. It will also cover disease-related proteins and other examples from the current literature.
