CHEM3041 Structural Biology for Chemists
Later Year Course
| Offered By | Research School of Chemistry |
|---|---|
| Academic Career | Undergraduate |
| Course Subject | Chemistry |
| Offered in | Second Semester, 2011 and Second Semester, 2012 |
| 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% End of semester written exam. 40% Three module specific assessments during the course. |
| Workload |
24 Lectures and 8 tutorials |
| Areas of Interest | Chemistry |
| Requisite Statement | |
