Long Title: SUPRAMOLECULAR BIOPHYSICS AND BIOENGINEERING

Department: Bioengineering

Grade Mode: Standard Letter

Course Type: Lecture

Credit Hours: 3

Description: Multi-component complexes of biological macromolecules form the basis of many cellular processes including signaling, metabolism, and biomolecular transport. This course will examine the impact of supramolecular architecture on these processes by discussing the self-assembly, dynamic properties and physiological function of non-covalently coupled macromolecules and interacting proteins. The course will cover fundamental models of protein-protein interactions, cooperativity, instrumentation, and potential technological applications.
