BIOL 455 DNA Structure and Function

Credits: 3

Detailed examination of the basics of DNAstructures, including alternative conformations of DNA, such as left-handed DNA, triplex DNA, quadruplex DNA, unwound DNA, slipped strand structures, and others. DNA supercoiling and the dynamics of alternative structure formation are also covered. The biology associated with alternative DNAconformations is also explored.

Prerequisites: BIOL 151 and CHEM 326
Notes: This course is cross-listed with BIOL 555.
