BIOL 544 Enzyme Catalysis, Regulation and Drug Targeting
Enzyme structure and function from the viewpoint of catalytic mechanisms, kinetic properties, regulatory mechanisms, and applications in the biomedical field. Offered alternate years. Prerequisite:Chem 203, Chem 204.
Enzyme Catalysis, Regulation and Drug Targeting
This course covers the chemical and biological aspect of catalysis, including fundamentals of reaction mechanisms, structural basis for catalysis, regulation of enzymes in their biological context, impacts of enzyme action and mutation in disease states. The course will emphasize the medical and technological aspects of enzymology, such as targeting of enzymes for the development of new therapeutics
