• GMS BY 776: Macromolecular Assemblies I
  This graduate course covers the concepts of the assembly of biomacromolecules, their structure and stabilizing forces, and biological function as related to structure. Examples are drawn from assemblies of proteins, lipids, lipoprotein systems, membranes and viruses. The Fall semester (BY776) covers protein assemblies, protein-nucleic acid assemblies, and membrane proteins. The Spring semester (BY777) covers lipid-protein assemblies. Semesters are independent and may be taken in either order. 2 cr, Fall sem.
