BIOS 1003 - Biophys Chem of Macromolecules

Institution:

Yeshiva University

Subject:

Biomedical Sciences (Graduate)

Description:

1003 BIOPHYSICAL CHEMISTRY OF MACROMOLECULES COURSE LEADERS: Drs. Denis Rousseau and Syun-Ru Yeh CREDITS/CLASS MEETINGS: 3 semester hours; 27 lectures. The class will meet two times per week for 1.5 hour lectures. The course will have two exams during the term and one final exam as well as homework assignments. PREREQUISITE BACKGROUND: Open to all students - The course will dovetail with Graduate Biochemistry, building on concepts introduced in that class. Thus, concurrent or prior enrollment in Graduate Biochemistry (or its equivalent) is required. In general, students are recommended to have some background in Physical Chemistry and Biochemistry. SUGGESTED BACKGOUND READING: Proteins by T.E. Creighton, Selected readings from Biophysical Chemistry by Cantor and Schimmel, Selected readings from Introduction to Protein Science by A. M. Lesk. Selected readings from the primary literature. SUITABILITY FOR 1ST YEAR STUDENTS: Recommended to have some background in Physical Chemistry and Biochemistry. COURSE DESCRIPTION: TThis course is Part 1 of an introductory graduate level course in biophysical chemistry offered every fall semester. Part 2 will be offered in the Spring Semester. The topics will focus on the structures and properties of proteins and nuclear acids, techniques used to study macromolecules and mechanisms of macromolecular function.
