This unit builds on what is taught at Level 2 in BIOC2201 Biochemistry of the Cell and BIOC2202 Biochemical Regulation of Cell Function. The relationship between the structures of macromolecules and their biological function are emphasised throughout the unit. The unit teaches the commonly used experimental methods of macromolecular structure elucidation including X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy and electron microscopy. Computational methods of structure prediction and other biophysical techniques are also covered as methods to obtain information on macromolecular structure. -- Course Website
