CHEM 3871 Methods in Chemical Biology
Course Description
This chemistry elective introduces the practical/ experimental techniques available to study the biomolecules described in CHEM 3870, Principles of Chemical Biology. Description of the chemical biology tools available for researchers at this interfacial discipline, provided in lectures, is followed by hands-on laboratory demonstrations; where students can immerse themselves in the actual execution and manipulation of different techniques. This is a very practical / technique oriented course. Each section concludes with research opportunities available and potential future developments, to address current needs as well as deficiencies in techniques and understanding.
