Learning Outcomes

  • predict how physical and chemical environments influence protein structure and function.
  • describe how the amino acid sequence influences a protein’s final native conformation.
  • identify the appropriate analytical techniques and approaches to define and characterize the native conformation of protein.
  • calculate the kinetic parameters governing the catalytic properties of an enzyme.
  • articulate an understanding of how allosteric and post-translational modifications regulated enzyme activity.
