Check Times, Location, and Availability Courses 570-577 each last one month 573. Enzyme Kinetics and Ligand Binding. 570 or equivalent. Physical chemistry is strongly recommended. A detailed examination of ligand binding and steady-state kinetics, including an introduction to rapid reaction kinetics.
Problem sets are an important component of the course.
Check Times, Location, and Availability 574. 570 and 573. Physical chemistry is strongly recommended. General principles of enzyme catalysis, including general acid and base catalysis, covalent catalysis, and strain and distortion aspects of catalysis. Selected examples to illustrate those principles will include proteases, discussing kinetics, covalent intermediates, mechanism of catalysis at the active site, and inhibition.
