BIS 102: Structure and Function of Biomolecules (Gasser)

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

Structure and function of macromolecules with emphasis on proteins, catalysis, enzyme kinetics, lipids, membranes, and proteins as machines.

Thumbnail: An enzyme binding site that would normally bind substrate can alternatively bind a competitive inhibitor, preventing substrate access. Dihydrofolate reductase is inhibited by methotrexate which prevents binding of its substrate, folic acid. Binding site in blue, inhibitor in green, and substrate in black(PDB: 4QI9​).
