Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Biology
Gustavus Adolphus College
Course overview:
Biochemists study the structure, function, interactions, synthesis, degradation, cellular localization, and reactivity of a variety of biomolecules that are found in living systems, including proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and lipids. As it is not possible to study all aspects of all of these biomolecules in a single course, here, we will focus principally on the subject of proteins. As your instructor, I hope to build upon and extend the basic knowledge of proteins that you acquired in CHE-255 (Biochemistry), provide you with an integrated, current, and detailed view of the field of protein biochemistry and give you the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the importance and role of proteins in living systems.
Course Prerequisites:
CHE-107, CHE-141, CHE-251, CHE-255
