Prereq: 020.305 - Biochemistry and 250.372 - Introduction to Biophysical Chemistry Structural basis of biological energy transduction (i.e. bioenergetics). Review global aspects of bioenergetics (from photon to ATP) and examine structures of key proteins involved in biological energy transduction (light harvesting complexes, bacteriorhodopsin, ATPase, cytochrome C oxidase, etc). Emphasis on unique structural motifs necessary for energy transduction, and on relevant physical and chemical principles governing bioenergetics. Possibly talk about how it all might have started (i.e. origins of life). Students who have taken Advanced Seminar on a different topic permitted to enroll.
