CHEM360

A study of the fundamental principles of protein biochemistry with an introduction to cell signaling and metabolism and bioenergetics. Topics may include chemistry of amino acids, basic protein structure and function, enzyme kinetics and mechanisms, and regulation of enzymatic activity. The laboratory focuses on the application of biochemical principles to the solving of biological problems in living systems. Laboratory experimental methods include protein characterization, purification of enzymes, enzyme kinetic measurements, and experimental design.
