Aims

To develop a deeper understanding of structural and functional aspects of macromolecules, particularly proteins, in biology.

Learning Outcomes

1.
Analyse and summarise information from research papers and/or practicals
2.
Explain the principal structural and functional characteristics of macromolecules
3.
Demonstrate an understanding of the important aspects of regulation and synthesis of macromolecules

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:1) Purification techniques, 2) Detection techniques and Monitoring procedures 3) Analysis techniques 4) Glycan structural diversity 5) Glycan structure to function 6) Mechanisms of protein regulation 7) Structure-function relationships.
Module Overview:
This module enables you to develop a deeper understanding of structural and functional aspects of macromolecules, particularly proteins, in biology. The module provides you with a detailed view of aspects of the structure and function of macromolecules and relationships between the two.
Additional Information:The module provides a detailed view of aspects of the structure and function of macromolecules and relationships between the two. Mathematical procedures and chemical formulae are used but not extensively. Students will gain skills in analysing experimental data and comprehending primary literature.
