Biophysical Chemistry

Primary literature based seminar/discussion course covering classical and contemporary papers in biophysical chemistry. Topics include (among others): protein structure and stability, folding, single molecule fluorescence and force microscopy, simulations, ion channels, GPCRs, and ribosome structure/function. Course is restricted to undergraduates and is the required capstone for majors on the Biological Chemistry track, but open to students from the regular track. Prerequisites: CHEM 181; CHEM 171.
