BIOL 303 - Principles of Chemical Biology

Institution:

Case Western Reserve University

Subject:

Description:

This is a computer-assisted course and offers a detailed introduction into biological macromolecular structure and function with particular emphasis on proteins. Computer-assisted learning will follow each lecture and will involve either searching the Web for appropriate sources of information covered in the lecture or using spreadsheets and graphics to examine data extracted from the chemical biology and biomedical literature. For example, the protein database (PDB) and Rasmol software will be used to visualize and measure biological macromolecules and extracted data from the biomedical literature will be analyzed by standard graphical procedures employing the computer. This new format will offer the student the ability to learn to use the information resources on the Web together with the computing ability of the computer to explore the concepts presented in the course. This course satisfies a laboratory requirement for the biology major. Prereq: CHEM 105 and CHEM 106 or CHEM 111 and ENGR 145.
