DEPARTMENT OF BIOCHEMISTRY

Biochemistry provides molecular knowledge and chemical insights for the biomedical sciences. A focus of research and training in the Department of Biochemistry is the atomic interaction that give form and specificity to biological function. Within this context. the research programs in the department explore the structure and function of proteins and nucleic acids including the analysis of protein-inhibitor, protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid interactions.. the faculty of our department use, and in some case have developed, modern methodologies including X-ray, mass spectrometry proteomics technology, synchrotron irradiation foot printing, molecular genetics manipulation and computational chemistry. These methods are applied to important problem of human health and development.
