BIOL.5225 Advanced Topics in Biochemistry

Id: 042002 Credits: 2-2

Description

This seminar course will focus on the detailed discussion of structure of proteins and other biological molecules, and how the structure determines the function of biological molecules. Students will be first introduced to each topic by the instructor through a short introductory lecture, then will be assigned to read an original research paper on the topic. During the next class, a group of preassigned students will present the paper to the class, followed by the class discussion of the paper. Students who are not presenting will be expected to read each paper before class, then ask questions and participate in the discussion of that paper during class.
