CHEM-362 Structural Biology
Through student-led discussions and presentations, this course will explore the literature describing experimentally-determined structures of biological macromolecules. While the course will focus on the biochemical principles gleaned from structural studies, students will also learn about structural biology techniques and how to determine the quality of published data. Structures will be selected from both modern biochemical problems (e.g. COVID-19 protease/antiviral design, CRISPR assembly) and historically important structures (e.g DNA/RNA polymerase, ribosome).
