CHM 330 - Enzyme Mechanisms

4 credits (Fall)

Examination of the mechanisms of enzyme reactions. Topics include enzyme structure, catalytic strategies, and methodologies to study enzyme mechanisms. Emphasis on enzymes that require a coenzyme (pyridoxal phosphate, flavin, etc.) to carry out their chemistry. Labs stress spectroscopic and kinetic techniques. Three classes, one laboratory each week.

Prerequisite: BCM 262.
Note: Plus-2 option available. Not offered every year.
