Credit points: 12.0
Coordinator: Professor W H Sawyer
Prerequisite: Biochemistry 521-301 and 321
Contact: 78 hours practical work (Second semester)
Timetable: two 6-hour sessions a week in the first six weeks and one 6-hour session in the seventh week of the semester
Objectives:
By the end of the program the student should have:
- Developed skills in the experimental approaches and techniques used in the investigation of protein structure, and in the critical evaluation of the experimental data derived from such methods;
- Applied these skills to a number of experimental systems which illustrate the effectiveness of specific advanced techniques;
- Developed skills in computer applications, including experimental simulations and graphics applications relevant to protein chemistry.
Content:
Experiments with emphasis on protein unfolding, determination and analysis of binding data and the use of computers in the prediction of protein structure. Presenting written and oral accounts of experimental results and using computers for analysing results and introducing molecular graphics applications.
Assessment:
Laboratory skills and practical management of the experimental program; up to three written reports of not more than 2,000 words each; an oral report of not more than 15 minutes; a written assignment of up to 2,000 words or a 2-hour written examination (whether a written assignment or a written examination will be given and the weighting of the components will be advised at the commencement of the subject).
