CHE 626 - Biomolecular Engineering

(3 units)

The course describes molecular biology of gene expression and regulation, recombinant DNA technologies, recombinant protein production, and protein structure and function, and protein engineering. Fundamentals and advances in protein engineering and design including rational and computational design of proteins, directed evolution, cell display and high-throughput screening technologies will be discussed with the focus on applications of biomolecular engineering in modern biotechnology.

Grading Basis: Graded
Units of Lecture: 3
Offered: Every Spring - Odd Years
