CHEM3041 Structural Biology for Chemists
Later Year Course
| Offered By | Research School of Chemistry |
|---|---|
| Academic Career | Undergraduate |
| Course Subject | Chemistry |
| Offered in | Second Semester, 2010 and Second Semester, 2011 |
| Unit Value | 3 units |
| Course Description | The course introduces the experimental techniques of X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy for the analysis of the structure and dynamics of biological macromolecules. It also gives an introduction into the fundamental principals of protein structure and dynamics. Wherever possible quantitative examples will be given - students will be expected to solve numerical problems. The course is intended for students who may want to acquire and use macromolecular structures. |
| Learning Outcomes | To develop an understanding of structural biology as it relates to chemistry. Students will learn to solve numerical problems on the structure and dynamics of biological macromolecules using X-ray crystallographic and NMR spectroscopic data. |
| Indicative Assessment |
60% written exam 40% eight short answer written exams at the beginning of each of 8 tutorials |
| Workload | 24 Lectures and 8 tutorials |
| Requisite Statement | Prerequisite: CHEM1101 and CHEM1201, CHEM2201 |
| Recommended Courses | To introduce students to the concepts of structural biology as they pertain to chemistry. The course will introduce students to the experimental techniques of X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy for the analysis of the structure and dynamics of biological macromolecules.
