This course aims at providing a framework for understanding three-dimensional structures of proteins, nucleic acids and their complexes. The first half of the course emphasizes structural modules and topological patterns in major classes of proteins and nucleic acids. The second part of the course covers novel structural motifs, such as helix-turn-helix, zinc-finger and leucine zipper, which are responsible for recognition of specific nucleotide sequences in nucleic acids by proteins. Analysis of structures using tools available on the web and independent exploration of protein and nucleic acid databases are strongly encouraged.
Unless preregistered students attend the first class meeting or communicate directly with the instructor prior to the first class, they will be dropped from the class list. NOTE: Students must still submit a completed
Drop/Add form to the Registrar's
Office.
The instructor of this course will not be using the on-line wait list. If you are interested in this course, please contact the instructor directly.
