This is a half-semester course. It will start the second
half of the semster on Monday, March 23, 1998. Students
have five days after the first day of class to add this
course.
This course focuses on the thermodynamics of binding
proteins, drugs and other ligands to nucleic acids. Topics
include cooperativity in binding of proteins to DNA,
statistical thermodynamics of molecular switches in gene
regulation, energetic linkages in binding of ligands to
nucleic acids. The relationships between thermodynamics of
protein-nucleic acid interactions and molecular mechanisms
of gene expression are emphasized.
MAJOR READINGS
Selected papers from scientific journals.
EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS
Homework assignments and final
exam.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS and/or COMMENTS
Unless
preregistered students attend the first class meeting or
communicate directly with the instructor prior to the first
