Enzymology is the study of enzymes.
A good working knowledge of the principles of enzymology is central to understanding metabolism and metabolic regulation and is also important in such areas as drug therapy and design. Overviews of various subject areas will be provided by course faculty. Students will have the opportunity to explore selected areas in more depth through class presentations and short essays. Another general objective of the course is to facilitate the development of critical analysis and communication skills through in depth analysis and presentations by students on selected topics in emerging areas of enzymology. There is no required text for the course.
