CM580A1 – Protein Basics for Computer Scientists and Engineers (Syllabus)
Proteins are complex molecular machines that are involved in almost every function in cells and can be engineered to perform numerous tasks in laboratory settings. The goal of this course is to provide a conceptual understanding of the basic biochemistry of proteins and how they are used in biomedical research to computer science and engineering students involved in interdisciplinary projects with biomedical scientists. This course will help students understand how proteins are coded by the genome and produced, the structures of proteins and how they move, how recombinant proteins are obtained for experimental usage, and the various ways proteins are used in biomedical research and biosensing so they can better interface with biologists.At the end of this course, students will be able to: 1) Explain the basic biochemical characteristics of proteins 2) Discuss how proteins are produced in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells 3) Describe how proteins are purified for use in vitro 4) Explain how molecular and biophysical techniques are used to analyze proteins 5) Discuss how proteins can be used in diagnostic devices
