1.50 Credits
A survey, comparison, and evaluation of computational techniques and software applications currently used to store, organize, manipulate, and explore biological information. Students learn how to retrieve, compare, and analyze nucleic acid sequences, amino acid sequences, and protein structures. Some of the topics covered are: overview of biological databases and other online resources; sequencebased analysis of genes and proteins; sequence alignments; phylogenetic reconstruction; protein 3D structure alignment; structural classification of proteins; prediction of protein structure and function. This is a handson course focused on developing practical bioinformatics skills. Class meets three times a week for Ihour lecture followed by 2hours computer lab. Prerequisite: BIO 303 or CHM 329 or pemission of instructor. Floriano

3.00 Credits
This course covers the use of computational tools in the discovery of medical drugs. Students are introduced to general aspects of drug discovery and development, and basic principles of drug action and pharmacology. Scientific literature describing the discovery process of currently marketed drugs is used to illustrate applications of computational methods. Students apply these methods during laboratory exercises. At the conclusion of the course, students will have a good understanding of the principles of drug action, a working knowledge of the main computerassisted techniques used in the design of pharmacologically active drugs, and a gerneral knowledge of drugs currently used to treat hypertension and diabetes. Prerequisites: BIO 459/459L or CHM 417 is recommended but not required. Floriano.
