1 credit(s) This laboratory course gives students a hands-on introduction to the physical nature of biological macromolecules. Topics such as the thermodynamic impact on the structure of these macromolecules and the interactions between the macromolecules and small biological molecules will be investigated. This course will also emphasize many of the various techniques commonly encountered in a biochemistry laboratory such Fluorescence and UV-Vis spectroscopies, biocalorimetery, and/or limited proteolysis. This course will also cover many of the common approaches to biochemical data analysis such as computer modeling and bioinformatics searches. Lab fee.
