BIO 4374 - Protein Bioinformatics hrs

Institution:

Winston-Salem State University

Subject:

Description:

This course will give students an understanding of DNA, a special set of structural components that reveal the characteristics and traits of a cell. The code by which DNA is translated into biological functions is based in its code, which is made up of nucleotides and amino acids that come together as the building blocks of protein. The understanding of these sequences, based in the order of nucleotide bases in the DNA molecule, permits students to understand how to make adjustments that can modify the manner in which the cell functions. In order to achieve this information quickly, this course provides a working knowledge of various computer-based tools available for predicting the structure and function of proteins that graphically manifest as three-dimensional folds. A computer laboratory will be used to complement lectures so that students can achieve these three-dimensional structures by employing the sequences revealed by the protein associated with the relevant DNA.
