CHEM 4460 - Enzyme Reaction Mechanisms in Human Health and Disease

Effective Date 09/27/2022
Familiarization with catalytic strategies employed by enzymes and relationship of the strategies to those used in organic chemistry. Reactions discussed include phosphoryl transfer, acyl group activation and transfer, and coenzyme-based catalysis, etc. The understanding of enzyme mechanisms is enhanced by introduction of key insights from kinetics and regulation of enzyme reactions. Emphasis is placed on implications for human health and disease.

Requisites Must have completed the following courses CHEM 4410 or CHEM 4440 BIOL 2100 or BIOL 2200 and students can’t enroll if previously taken CHEM 4559 topic #2 Enzyme Reaction Mechanisms
