BIEN 233: COMPUTATIONAL MODELING OF BIOMOLECULES

University of California, Riverside

4 Units, Lecture, 2 hours; workshop, 2 hours. Prerequisite(s): BIOL 005B; CHEM 008B and CHEM 08LB or CHEM 08HB and CHEM 08HLB; MATH 009C or MATH 09HC; PHYS 040B or PHYS 040HB; basic computer programming experience. Introduces computational methods for the quantitative analysis of biomolecular structures at atomic resolution. Aids in understanding the physicochemical properties of biomolecular function, the prediction of biological properties, and the design of new experiments. Forms the basis for structure-based design of proteins with tailored properties and inhibitors of protein function. May be taken Satisfactory (S) or No Credit (NC) with consent of instructor and graduate advisor.
