BT 9433 - Protein Engineering

Institution:

Polytechnic Institute of New York University

Subject:

Description:

This course will introduce students to the modern protein engineering techniques available to researchers to understand protein structure and function and to create entirely new proteins for a variety of purposes. This is a new field that lies on the interface of chemistry, biology and engineering. The first part of the course will discuss the protein composition and structure, various genetic, biochemical and chemical techniques required to engineer proteins, which then will be followed by specific topics. Topics will include designing proteins that are highly structured; active at high temperatures and in non-aqueous solvents; that selectively interact with other proteins, small molecules and nucleic acids for therapeutic purposes; and that catalyze new reactions. Prerequisite: CM9413 or adviser's approval.
