Understand the principles of bioenergetics, including the implications of free energy change occurring in a chemical reaction. [BIOC 2300]
Apply the principles underlying structure and folding of simple soluble proteins to the more complex physical environment in which membrane proteins operate. [BIOC 4700] Explain the biophysics of the non-covalent forces and kinetics and mechanisms governing protein folding and stability. [BIOC 4700] Explain why ab initio protein folding, or the prediction of tertiary structure from a sequence, is considered one of the most challenging problems in computational biology. [BIOC 4010] Predict the fate of a protein based on features of the primary sequence. [BIOC 3400]
