Prerequiste Learning Outcomes

What the student is assumed to know before learning this outcome.

Identify general features of the common classes of biomolecules: carbohydrates, lipids, nucleotides and amino acids. [BIOC 1040] [BIOC 2300]

Why do I need to know that?

These are the student learning outcome(s) that directly require this student learning outcome.

Analyze implications of molecular spectroscopy (absorption, emission, CD, NMR) results on polypeptide structure and environment in direct context of the physical basis of the technique in question. [BIOC 3700]
Design a protein engineering experiment to answer questions about structure/function relationships in new protein. [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]
