About the course
Recent advances in chemistry, molecular biology, and biophysics are presenting us with spectacular opportunities both to increase our understanding of biological systems at the molecular level and to attack medical problems.Chemists are addressing problems in biochemistry, pharmacology, cell biology, structural biology, and medicine by designing and constructing small molecules as spectroscopic probes, functional analogues, and diagnostic and therapeutic agents. In turn, the methods of molecular biology, biomimetics and genetics are providing approaches and solutions to chemical problems, by mutagenesis to probe the mechanisms of enzymatic reactions, by production of large quantities of pure proteins for spectroscopic and biophysical studies, and by convenient generation of structural diversity. The application of computational methods to complex biological systems is having a major impact on the way chemical tools are being used in biology, through the creation of computer-based models of small molecules and macromolecules whose interaction energies and dynamics can then be measured.
