BT 631: Protein Structure and Function (3-0-0-6)

Introduction to protein structure and function; amino acids: building blocks of proteins, peptide bonds,

polypeptides and its conformation; structural elements of protein structure: primary, secondary, tertiary

and quaternary structures; bonds stabilizing protein structure; structural motifs; methods of determining

three-dimensional structures of protein: X-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), cryo-

electron microscopy; basic concepts in analyzing protein structures; protein structure database; structure

and function of fibrous proteins: (kerartins and collagens) and membrane proteins (ATPase family);

structures and mechanisms of dehydrogenases and proteases; chemical modification of enzymes using

affinity reagents and side-chain specific reagents.
