Students study advanced topics in protein biochemistry through a series of 30 lectures. These lectures are split into two elements. The first element, Structure and Dynamics of Biomolecules and Systems, covers techniques used to analyse protein structure and dynamics. The second element, Protein Assembly, looks at how proteins are synthesized and how they fold into their unique 3 dimensional shapes. The unit is be assessed by a single 3 hour examination paper.
Aims:
Structure and Dynamics of Biomolecules and Systems
Protein Assembly
Lectures.
The unit will be assessed through one 3 hour examination in January. Students will be given a choice of essay titles and will be expected to answer 3 questions.
Reviews and primary articles from the current scientific literature.
