Protein Design and Catalysis

Graduate / Professional

The lecture component of this course largely focuses on protein function, catalysis, and the chemistry and biology of diverse small molecule products. The course also serves to support students in writing an effective NSF style research proposal in chemical biology and communicating its contents to a diverse scientific audience. Prerequisites: Two semesters of undergraduate organic chemistry (CHEM 174/175 and/or CHEM 220/221). A basic understanding of biochemistry and molecular biology is also assumed, but you can “catch up” by carefully and thoroughly reading the course materials and recommended books. ½ Course cr TTh 9am-10:15am
