CHEM 558 Chemical Biology

Chemical Biology is the use of concepts and methods of chemistry, especially small molecules, to study and manipulate biological systems. A major goal is to provide relevant background on useful chemical tools and new biological targets. Topics include chemical synthesis of biological molecules (DNA, RNA, peptides, proteins, carbohydrates); recognition and modulation of biological molecules with small molecules; application of small molecules in the cell and developmental biology; chemical genetics; combinatorial chemistry; molecular target identification; examples of small molecule application in cell biology.
