CHEM 285: Biophysical Chemistry
Primary literature based seminar/discussion course covering classical and contemporary papers in biophysical chemistry. This is intended to provide an introduction to critical analysis of papers in the literature through intensive discussion and evaluation. Topics include (among others): protein structure and stability, folding, single molecule fluorescence and force microscopy, simulations, ion channels, GPCRs, and ribosome structure/function. Course is limited to 15 students and priority will be given to first year Chemistry graduate students.

CHEM 287A: Advanced Biochemistry (CHEMENG 487)
The overarching goal of this course is to refresh your understanding of unifying chemical concepts that have been widely used to decode the logic of biology. The emphasis of this course will be on qualitative and quantitative aspects of small molecule and protein chemistry in cells of the human body. The course assumes that you have a foundational knowledge of physical and organic chemistry and that you have taken at least one undergraduate-level course in Biochemistry.
