CHEM 1810 - CHEMICAL BIOLOGY

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Revolutionary transformations in chemistry and biology have led to the merging of these disciplines where contributions from both fields impact our molecular and quantitative understanding of biology. Rapid growth in this area has been driven in part by students and researchers applying synthesis, quantitative analysis, and theoretical reasoning to the study complex cellular processes. This course focuses on enzyme mechanisms in biological pathways, kinetics and thermodynamics, and chemical tools to probe and screen components of the cell. Some other topics include DNA/RNA processing, macromolecular interactions, chemical signaling, posttranslational modifications, chemical syntheses of biomolecules, and development of assays for high throughput drug screening.
