Section 001 (Class Number: 10560 )
Instructor(s): Record Jr.,M Thomas
TA(s):

Location: Rm B351 CHEM   Website: http://www.biochem.wisc.edu/courses/biochem665/

Description:

Biochem 665, taught together with the advanced (honors) undergrad course Chem 565, develops the principles of solution thermodynamics and chemical kinetics, and applies this quantitative framework to discuss experimental data and analysis of the thermodynamics (driving forces, coupled conformational changes etc.) and mechanisms of biochemical processes involving proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids in solution. Applications include protein folding, nucleic acid helix formation, micelle formation; ligand binding, cooperative binding and other assembly processes; effects of water, salts, other solutes, temperature and pressure on biochemical processes; protein-nucleic acid interactions and enzyme catalysis. Weekly problem sets develop these applications. Typical enrollment (fall semester) is 20-25 grad students and 75-85 undergrads; 665 students are expected to have some previous background in physical chemistry as well as the 565 prerequisites.
