What You're Signing Up For
This course delves into the structure and function of proteins and their crucial role in regulating metabolism in plant and animal systems. Students gain practical skills in analysing biological molecules, separating, identifying and quantifying biomolecules, using data to determine protein sequences and structures, and applying biochemical knowledge to solve problems. Ethical implications of new biological technologies are also considered. Note: some course components require on-campus attendance.
