| Course Description: | Biology uses transition metals for many of its most critical reactions, such as photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation, and respiration. This course will explore this central role of metals in biological chemistry, including metal transport and trafficking, metalloenzyme catalysis, and metals in medicine. Common techniques in bioinorganic research, such as structural biology, transient kinetics, and spectroscopy, will be introduced. Student-led presentations and discussion will be a major focus, driven by engagement with the research literature. |
