PURIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF PROTEIN AND PROTEIN COMPLEXES

BIOCHEM 916

Recent literature relating to cellular aspects of the regulation of protein biogenesis including protein synthesis, folding, modification, degradation and trafficking, as well as function of molecular chaperones, will be presented and discussed.

BIOCHEM 729

Specialized subjects of current interest.

BIOCHEM 301

Explore the basic chemical properties of proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. Topics to be discussed include protein structure and function, the chemical logic of metabolism, and the mechanisms of DNA replication, DNA transcription, DNA repair, and gene expression. Understand principles and themes in biochemistry that relate to metabolic diseases, drug design, virus infection and vaccination, and gene therapy. Does not cover the foundational material necessary to succeed in additional biochemistry coursework, and is not likely to be acceptable for medical or veterinary school admission.

BIOCHEM 551

Introduction to modern biochemical laboratory techniques and current biochemical literature. Includes student seminar presentations based upon scientific literature that parallels experiments performed in the lab.

CHEM 725

Basic principles of chemical and biochemical separations by chromatography and electrophoresis.
