Chemistry has changed rapidly over the past decades and techniques that were once exclusively applied to small molecules are now routinely used with larger molecules, such as proteins. This course will be the first introduction of students to the field of chemical biology, which spans chemistry, biology and physics. Biological molecules and systems are analysed and modified using chemical principles and techniques. Note: This course is co-taught with undergraduate students but assessed separately.
