ISB 321
MWF 11:15-12:05
This course will introduce students to the amazing molecules that make life possible, how they work individually (I Structure & Function) and how they form nanomachines and networks to do the essential life processes of harnessing energy (II) and self-replication (III). Chemists and biochemists use a full range of chemical principles to [...]
