BCBP-4860

Protein and Nucleic Acid Structure

The three-dimensional structure of these biological macromolecules is explored in detail, with special attention to the relationship of structure and function. Other topics include methods used to determine structure, the thermodynamics of structure formation, structure prediction from primary sequence, and computer-based molecular modeling. (Students cannot obtain credit for both this course and BCBP-6860.) Prerequisite: BCBP-4760 or equivalent. Spring term even-numbered years.
