Instructor(s):

Chang, Leifu

Textbook(s):

Notes:

Format:

Meet weekly for 4 hours. The first hour will be lecture, and the later 3 hours will be lab practices. 

Content:

This five-week lab module is designed for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students to learn the structure and function of macromolecular including protein, DNA and RNA. Students will attend weekly lectures followed by lab practices to explore the molecular structure and interactions. Students will learn tools for structural visualization and analysis and complete a structural biology project in the lab. At the end of the course, students will understand how the structure of macromolecules is related to their function.
