OVERALL GOAL: • Students will understand the four forces of biochemistry (ionic bonds, H bonds, hydrophobic effect, van der Waals interaction) • OBJECTIVE: • Students will design a protein to bind a specific peptide by applying their knowledge of the four forces and the physical properties of different amino acids.
Example of a Friday discussion section that will be led by Postdoctoral Scholar - Students will have previously had 3 lectures covering the following topics: • What is Biochemistry? • Protein structure, primary through quaternary • Protein function and folding - Students will have had one homework assignment which reinforced different learning goals from the ones we are covering in this exercise.
Protein Design Based on Prof. Lynne Regan’s Research
