Course Information
Description
Biophysical and Biochemical Mechanisms of Protein Function focuses on the molecular mechanisms that underlie essential biochemical processes such as signal transduction. Major topics include biochemical thermodynamics and conformational equilibria, protein structure and folding, receptor pharmacology, allostery, and enzymatic mechanisms of signaling. The course includes both content lectures and special seminars focused on relevant cutting-edge methodologies.
Recommended Prep
A foundational biochemistry course is recommended as a prerequisite (we expect students to have a solid understanding of the core concepts in biochemistry and molecular biology, including knowledge of the amino acids and their properties as well as the central dogma).
