Chemistry 316 - Chemical Biology

The field of chemical biology applies chemical;perspectives and tools to the study of biological;systems. In this course, we will examine the ways;that synthetic chemistry has provided techniques;that support, complement, and expand on those;used in biochemistry, drug discovery, and;molecular and cell biology. Topics may include;solid phase biomolecule synthesis, combinatorial;chemistry, bioconjugation, molecular probes,;protein engineering, drug delivery, and synthetic;biology.

Prereq: CHEM-302 and any other 300-level chemistry or biochemistry course.
