【Course Objectives】

The objective of this course is to provide students with a Structural Biological framework to understand the functions of proteins and nucleic acids, the central actors who play out biological activities: the functions of these biological macromolecules are attained by their three-dimensional structures through various physicochemical "forces."

【Course Contents】

Case studies on the structure-function relationship of proteins and nucleic acids. Systems that students have already learned in Molecular Biology are taken up and quantitatively re-explained in terms of such inter-molecular forces as ionic bond, hydrogen bond and van der Waals force, and hydrophobic effect. These interactions are also delineated. It is emphasized that living organisms have evolved to today's form within the bounds of physics and chemistry.
