Course Learning Outcomes:

  1. Describe the charge state of an amino acid and explain how that relates to its behaviour.
  2. Describe how the charge state of a protein depends on its pI and the pH of the environment and explain how that relates to its behaviour.
  3. Describe how proteins can be purified using a variety of methods and how those methods can be used to characterize properties of proteins.
  4. Describe the different levels of protein structure (primary, secondary, etc.) and explain the important forces that stabilize them.
  5. Describe the expected results of experiments that could be used to study protein structure and function.
  6. Design experiments that could be used to study protein structure and function.
  7. Explain how the sequences of a variety of related proteins can be used to understand their structure and function.
  8. Explain the concepts of cooperativity as they apply to the function of multimeric proteins.
  9. Explain the ways in which enzymes are able to catalyze reactions.
  10. Explain how enzyme kinetics can be used to understand the mechanisms of enzyme catalysis and enzyme inhibition.
