課程概述

This course will cover fundamental aspects of biological chemistry, structural biology, and chemical biology. Compared to undergraduate level biochemistry, this course will emphasize molecules, mechanisms, structures, and major techniques in structural biochemistry 

課程目標
The goal for this course is to make sure that every graduate student in IBC, including both master and Ph. D. students, and regardless of chemistry or biology background, will have acquired the up-to-date knowledge in biological chemistry, including chemical biology and structural biochemistry.
