Proteins: Primary Molecules of Life

Fall
Hour AB
Wolfgang Peti

Proteins are the expression of information in our genes. They help metabolize the food we eat, transport the air we breath, build our bodies, and color our eyes. To do so, they adopt a myriad of structural motifs. We examine the structural features of proteins and their functional consequences, as well as methods to experimentally determine or theoretically predict protein structure. Enrollment limited to 20.
