Cellular Biochemistry & Biophysics (Half-Term)

This course focuses on the molecules and molecular assemblies that underlie cellular structure and function. Topics include macromolecules and their analysis, enzyme kinetics, molecular self-assembly, molecular motion, biomolecular phase transitions, trafficking and interfaces among others. A second focus is on methods and approaches, including imaging methods, force measurements, mass spectrometry, as well as structural biology. A major goal of the course is to increase proficiency in parsing and critically discussing papers from the primary literature.
