| Introduction:
This 15 lecture-discussion module will focus on the molecular and structural interpretation of energy transformation in biological systems, including the mechanism of F1F2-type ATP synthase, a biological rotary motor; a proton motive force operating across many energy-conserving biological membrane; molecular chaperones in cytosol, from nascent chain to folded protein; the energy landscape of protein folding, and the role of the thermodynamic molecular switch in biological systems. In the context of these macromolecular interactions, methods of simple thermodynamic analysis will be introduced. |
